A terrifying spiral into a long battle with schizophrenia-and a triumphant healing that followed-inspired Wendel L. Miser to write poems and journal passages celebrating the transformative power of faith and family.
Now in Markers on the Way to God: God’s Grace Transforming Mental Illness, Wendel provides insight into the realities of schizophrenia.
This companion book to Wendel’s 2022 memoir, A Valiant Battle: A Journey with Schizophrenia, written with his brother, James S. Miser, MD, takes you on a faith-filled journey into Wendel’s spiritual foundation.
He shows how excellent medical treatment, family support, and his unwavering Christian belief enable him to thrive in marriage to his
devoted wife, Mary, enjoy a celebrated career with the USEPA, and sing with the National Men’s Chorus at Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center.
Markers on the Way to God will make your heart and soul soar with hope that faith and love can conquer life’s most challenging circumstances.
The Miracle of This Life
To become separated in darkness,
To search and catch a glimpse,
There to discover my profound need for the Lord,
To seek him in truth,
To find him seeking you even as you seek him,
And then to discover and experience
That you are never to be separated
From your Savior nor the depth of
His light, love and grace in Holy embrace
Is truly the miracle of this life.
