Author Description

Jon Sturtsman had it all-a successful career, a wife and two children, a beautiful house, and fancy cars. But Jon would sit in a roomful of his closest friends and feel all alone and empty. Working as a nurse anesthetist, Jon noticed one patient who seemed especially euphoric after receiving a dose of Fentanyl before surgery. Wanting to feel the same way, Jon snuck off to the bathroom and took his first shot, which spiraled him down the path of addiction, imprisonment, and loss of everything he held dear. But losing it all proved to be just what Jon needed to gain his soul. Along the way, Jon began writing down quotes and verses that would come to his mind and began passing them out to encourage others. What started out as just a way to keep himself busy led to over six hundred sayings throughout the years that he hopes will uplift and encourage others. No matter how you are struggling or where you are in life, find encouragement through this modern-day prodigal and discover hope for your own soul along the way.
