Michael’s first book in the Journey Of series traces the years he and his family spent in the Philippines, from 2006 to 2020, as well as the first two years after their return to the United States.

Through stories of purpose, passion, transition, sadness, and grief, The Journey of Yes reveals that hope can remain even in life’s most uncertain seasons.

More than a memoir, this book is an invitation to recognize growth in the middle of change and trust that difficult chapters do not have to be the end of the story. Each chapter shares a lesson learned along the journey, followed by reflection and application questions designed to help readers find hope within their own stories.

Maybe you are walking through a transition you never expected. Maybe the future looks different from what you imagined. Maybe you are trying to make sense of a season that has left you wondering what comes next. The Journey of Yes is a reminder that your story is still being written.

You do not have to understand every step before taking the next one. You do not have to have all the answers before choosing to move forward. And you do not have to allow disappointment, loss, or unexpected change to define what comes next.

There is still purpose ahead. There is still growth waiting to happen. There is still hope for the chapters yet to be written.

Sometimes all it takes is the courage to say yes.
