Bright Journey tells stories of life in a Mennonite community under the smile of the Good Father above. The author brings memories of childhood flavored with childish imagination. He reminisces of his wife Julia and their early love for each other, a love that matured over the decades. He introduces us to their children and grandchildren. These stories escort us to distant places. He reveals the joys of church leadership and records the calling of church leaders. He reminds each of us to tell or write our own stories, to trust in God, and to gather courage for the journey ahead. (402pp. color illus. Author, 2023.)
