A Journey Home

Best-selling author, Arthur C. Brooks, said we all have three possible responses to the decline that inevitably happens with age: a) Rage against the decline, b) give up and give in to the decline, or c) accept that what got us here won’t work in the future and develop new strengths.

A challenge, yes, but also what an opportunity!

Authors Marlena Fiol and Ed O’Connor present the story of Dr. John Schmidt, Mennonite hero and medical pioneer, as he traverses his path of transformation. It’s a journey available to all of us if we have the courage to begin peeling off the layers of our hidden fears and open to new meaning in our lives.

Join him on this deeply personal and spiritual quest for peace in A JOURNEY HOME [April 2023].

Back Cover Blurb:

Part adventure saga, part love story, part confessional, A Journey Home is based on true events in one man’s journey from stoicism to despair, and ultimately to acceptance, forgiveness, and peace. It’s an action-packed tale of survival that invites you to dig deep into an emotional and spiritual exploration of human frailty and strength.

Dr. John’s journey reminds us that, paradoxically, confronting our fears can be a doorway to finding a place of inner peace.
