Synopsis

In the Christian life, we have the privilege of being led by the Good Shepherd, but every journey has to end. In a word picture framed by her final eighteen months on earth, Ward Tanneberg tenderly unpacks Dixie's story, that of a private woman who lived a public life, not by choice, but by divine calling. While seeking to know a heavenly Father as elusive to her as her own had been, her life becomes a tapestry of struggle, faith, courage, and, in the end, triumph. And she does not waste her cancer. Bereavement groups, caregivers, and individuals coping with loss may find the discussion questions following the text helpful for traveling their own sacred journeys. Published in connection with Hartline Literary Agency, serving the Christian book community. Visit us at www.hartlineliterary.com. ... Some love stories just need to be told—even the final pages of that story. Maybe especially those final pages. In the beautiful memoir, Sacred Journey, author Ward Tanneberg writes with a poignant tenderness about the life journey he and his beloved wife, Dixie, walked together. The path was not always easy, but in their story, we find hope for ours. Dr. Jodi Detrick, Speaker, former columnist for The Seattle Times Author of The Jesus-Hearted Woman Poignant, heartwarming and incredibly uplifting. In Sacred Journey, Ward tells the story of Dixie’s well-lived life, from meager beginnings, to touching and impacting thousands of lives. You will laugh, cry and be forever changed. If you read one book this year—read Sacred Journey. Dr. Chuck Stecker, President A Chosen Generation.

About this title

About the Author

Ward believes story remains our best device for truth telling. The skillful blending of love and hate, inspiration and faith, uncertainty and danger is a daunting challenge. Ward is loved by readers for inviting us to a stage on which compelling characters portray “the God who is there and is not silent,” in an irresistible page-turning style. In fiction, allegory, essay or memoir, his worldview is Christocentric. His stated mission, “listen well, write creatively, speak to influence, stir the glowing embers of my peers and turn the Light on for the next generations” embraces that worldview. When writing or speaking at retreats, conferences and churches, he addresses key questions for every person: “Who is God in my life right now? Who am I at this time in my life? What shall I do with the years that remain?” Ward’s literary works include inspirational thrillers Without Warning, Vanished, Pursuit and 2015 Illuminations award-winning Redeeming Grace. You can also follow his blog, Perspective. He has been an evangelist, denominational youth and men’s ministries leader, Christian college public relations director, guest lecturer, adjunct professor, writer, novelist, and pastor in three churches. Ward lives in Bellevue, Washington. A widower, he has 2 married children, 3 grandchildren, 4 step-grandchildren and 2 great grandsons. His interests and ministry have taken him to over 50 countries of the world.
