Description
The wealth of love A privileged American and first-time missionary plunges into an austere environment, encountering unimaginable poverty and despair, yet at every turn, faith and hope surface to teach him what it truly means to be rich. The power of relationships and love transforms how he sees his life and the world he thought he knew so well. This raw, captivating first-person narrative by award-winning author Bill Yoh will compel you to become a better version of yourself, helping you and those around you navigate the stressful and divisive times in which we live. Bill takes us on a journey, sharing poignant stories centered on the human experience and relating to the six principles that foster love and relationships: the foundational importance of strong character, the dignity inherent in every human being, the unique set of talents we each possess, the serenity that comes from being at peace with who we are, the episodes of failure that provide opportunities for growth, and the divine gift of gratitude. Gracefully written, Unvarnished Faith is an invitation to find purpose, engage with community, and cherish and nurture the myriad relationships in our lives.
Advance Praise
“Unvarnished Faith is a book about how a man’s life and heart is unexpectedly transformed by a week-long trip to a foreign country. But you will find nothing ‘foreign’ about Bill Yoh’s search for faith, meaning, and authenticity. You will be moved by the openness of one person’s willingness to be changed . . . and after reading this account, you may well be changed yourself.”
—Father Edward L. Beck, CNN religion commentator, priest, author, playwright
“In Unvarnished Faith, Bill reminds us that we're all connected to an experience greater than ourselves and that the path to true meaning in life is through our relationships with others. This engaging and eye-opening narrative of his mission in Nicaragua will inspire you to live your best life as well as give you a framework for taking the first step in that direction.”
—Douglas Brunt, New York Times best-selling author, host of Dedicated podcast
“All of us are naturally drawn to being a part of something greater than ourselves and leaving a lasting legacy with our time, talents, and treasure. Unvarnished Faith is a heartfelt call to action to realize that goal. You will learn how to succeed in your own God-given destiny—a destiny that includes people from near and far—by reading Bill Yoh's masterfully written, grace-filled narrative of going on a short-term missionary journey to Nicaragua. Unvarnished Faith will enable you to discern the divine imprint on each person and understand your unique calling to bring about gradual, eternal change—both in their lives and yours.”
—David Joannes, Founder and CEO of Within Reach Global, author of The Mind of a Missionary
