English | ASIN: B0BBSQ18KR | 2023 | 6 hours and 39 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 372 MB
Author: Tyson Motsenbocker
Narrator: Tyson Motsenbocker
In this powerful memoir, following the death of his mother, Tyson Motsenbocker retraces the journey an 18th-century priest took in this harrowing story of one man’s pilgrimage of healing and finding beauty and hope in tragedy. After years on the road performing at sold-out venues, Tyson Motsenbocker returned home to the impending death of his 57-year-old hero and mother. He begged God to heal her, but she died anyway. When they buried her body, Tyson also buried the childhood version of his faith. Shortly before her death, however, Tyson became intrigued by the complicated legacy of Father Junipero Serra, the 18th-century Franciscan monk and canonized saint who dedicated his life to the idea that tragedy and suffering are portals to renewal. Father Serra built Missions up and down the California coast, spreading Christianity, as well as enabling and aiding in the oppression and colonization of the native Californians.
