Mortal Adhesions

“Vulnerability, humility, trust, and love—components of John Sottosanti’s faith journey—have enriched his life and those of his patients and employees.”


—Ken Blanchard, co-author of The One Minute Manager and Lead Like Jesus





“A riveting autobiography on the amazing life and conversion of Dr. John Sottosanti. According to the world, he had it all—a house in one of California’s most prestigious coastal communities, the best car money could buy, exotic world travel, successful surgical practice with Hollywood clients, and the worldwide admiration of professional colleagues. However, Dr. Sottosanti lacked peace and joy until his miraculous encounter with God on a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. A great read and an irresistible page-turner!”


—Stephen C. Beuerle, co-founder, AM 1450, Saint John Paul II Catholic Radio





“An emotional and frank narration of a scientific and egocentric surgeon’s transition from a life of angst and worldly attachments to a faith-filled one of peace and contentment, John Sottosanti’s memoir will inspire you. Very few individuals have accomplished this transition.”


—Charles M. Cobb, professor emeritus, University of Missouri–Kansas City





“A sweeping saga, filled with journeys to foreign lands, riveting and suspenseful adventures, movie stars, and an erudite debate with the devout atheist Francis Crick—Nobel Prize winner and co-discoverer of the structure of DNA—Mortal Adhesions is an exciting and suspenseful spiritual memoir!”


—Gregory Goehner, co-founder and former CEO, HumansFirst Technology
