From the author of Saint Ben and The Saint's and Angels' Song
They gathered together in the solemn act of scattering the remains of Betty Dunn wife, mother, and grandmother. For each person in attendance it brought about a rite of passage. For Bobbi, it was an acknowledgment that her mother's death severed the link to her heritage. She yearned to give her mother a place to rest, a place that gave her roots-a home.
Sam, on the other hand, saw this act as his final obligation to his second wife. He had made true to his promises and now had a new lease on life. Or so he thought.
By strange design, a unique cast of characters becomes absorbed in a bizarre journey. A mix-up at the funeral home sends Sam and Bobbi on a trail that leads them to J.W. Dean, snake-handling traveling evangelist. The future hinges on this man whose faith and passion grates at Sam's stony facade and strikes a chord of sincerity in Bobbi.
In a stunning tapestry of adventure, mystery, and humor, Ashes On the Wind brings about the realization that God's presence is a very real, very tangible element in the place we call home.

About the Author:
John Fischer has been mixing his unique combination of singing, speaking, and humor for a variety of audiences for over thirty years.
In the late 60's, John's music was a part of a spiritual renewal and search for meaning that created a new quest for inner solutions to global problems. Not only was John giving birth to a new expression of Christianity, he was also writing and recording songs that youth groups, Young Life clubs, and retreat groups across the nation would sing over and over. His multifaceted talents of song writing, speaking, singing, and writing reflect the many avenues by which John carries on a spiritual dialogue with real life and real people.
Music is only a part of who John Fischer is. John's books present a thought-provoking challenge to the Christian Church today, encouraging believers to pull the true essence of their faith from the trappings of the contemporary Christian subculture, Real Christians Don't Dance (Bethany House), has been a bestseller, and John's debut into fiction, Saint Ben, (Bethany House) received high praise in a recent Christianity Today article on inspirational fiction, as well as a Silver Angel award for fiction. True Believer's Don't Ask Why (Bethany House), challenges the belief that Christians have to have all the answers.
His beloved fiction includes Saint Ben, Saint's and Angel's Song, and Ashes on the Wind and since l980, he has contributed a column to Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) magazine.
John graduated from Wheaton College, Illinois, and later served as Artist in Residence at Gordon College in Massachusetts, where he lived during the 80's. He now resides with his wife and three children in California.
