NEW RELEASE!
An adventure saga... a love story... and the intimate confessions of a Mennonite hero.
In the face of intractable opposition, Mennonite hero and medical pioneer, Dr. John Schmidt, tackles the seemingly impossible with dogged perseverance – layered over a gnawing yet unexplored sense of his own worthlessness – until he faces the inevitability of his physical decline. Only then, amidst the pain and humiliation of apparent defeat, does he confront his underlying fears and self- loathing, thereby discovering the balm of acceptance and self-forgiveness.
Dr. John’s inner journey is a universal path of transformation 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.

What audiobooks will you be listening to this weekend? I recommend one of the audiobooks I previously narrated titled, “Nothing Bad Between Us: A Mennonite Missionary’s Daughter Finds Healing in Her Brokenness” by Author Marlena Fiol: https://bit.ly/3A6i0jL
• This audiobook shares the author’s story of brokenness and eventual redemption that taps into the collective yearning for healing and forgiveness.
• After being publicly humiliated in front of her entire close-knit Mennonite community, the author reveals she didn’t know how she would recover.
• Through this audiobook, listeners can follow her journey from an abusive upbringing in Paraguay to escape, love, and loss in the United States and finally on to forgiveness and reconciliation.

I have experienced hunger for intimacy my whole life, but my path to finding it has been long, sometimes dark, and at times very confusing. The levels of intimacy I searched for over time were limited by my understanding of intimacy itself.
