Far from the Cliff

“This is an admirable book for many reasons. First, the narrative is compelling. Second, the narrator/author is a polymath, speaking differing languages and revealing a comprehension of differing talents, types of music, and complex mores. Third, the book follows the path of this unusual man’s coming to grips with Christianity. And fourth, the book rings with the sound of honesty. It is an amazing accomplishment.”


—John J. Brugaletta, author of The Crossing Point of Our Lives: A Gathering of Christian Poems





“Far from the Cliff is a story of a soul’s pilgrimage through the hardships, pains, and disappointments in life while holding on to the gifts of faith, hope, and love. It is a tribute to the truth that the light has come into the world, and the darkness has not overcome it. A journey through suffering while remaining true to the presence of God and one’s guardian angel.”


—David Groe, pastor, Immanuel Lutheran Church





“Far from the Cliff is the journey of an indigenous writer that brings together the integrated experiences of the body, mind, and spirit through challenges of life and periods of being in and out of balance. It shares with the reader an honest view of individual, family, and community connections and serves as a circular guide from despair to hope and a spiritual well-being which is always within our reach.”
