With storytelling that moves, personal reflection that awakens, and a soundtrack that brings pages to life, John shares the emotional backstory of how the book came to be, the spiritual wisdom of the mysterious “Circle of Seven,” and how this project cracked him open, helped him heal, and will now help others do the same.
