ABOUT THE BOOK

The Life and Times of Lorne W.P Vanderwoude
​The truth is stranger than fiction 

By Lorne W.P Vanderwoude
FriesenPress, Coming Soon in 2018

Life can be hard at the best of times, and throw obstacles in our paths that seem like more than we can bear. Lorne W.P Vanderwoude has had to overcome more than his fair share of obstacles. Given up for adoption by a schizophrenic mother who had no choice in the matter, he was lucky enough to be welcomed into a strong family with an even stronger faith. But faith, on its own, is not enough. It can't lift you over life’s hurdles or help you to navigate the twists and turns that threaten to send you down the wrong paths. But what it can do is give you the strength to get over the hurdles on your own, and the light by which you can steer your life to where it was always meant to take you.

Combined with hope, dreams, and a determination to never give up, Lorne found a way through the obstacles and over the hurdles, and through it all, managed to never give up on himself or on a world that never made things easy.

​This is his story.

​
I do invite every person who has the desire to find out what the real truth is, to join me on my journey and hear my story along with my understanding of the real truth in various doctrines in the Christian faith. I do ask you that you let Christ be the judge of what I believe and Christ alone. I do dare you to come for the ride of your life.

The RSA Adventure
The Untold Story Now Revealed 

By Lorne W.P Vanderwoude
FriesenPress, Dec 19, 2014

​Everybody has a story. Not everybody has the desire or ability to write their story down. In one hand I had a pen, with a pad in the other. This is a story which I have never shared with anyone. My mind went back to where my adventure first began.

I first met her as an adult while I was crossing that football field which I had walked across for many months. What happened that night was the start of an adventure which I will never forget as long as I have a memory. This adventure was like a thrill ride which kept on going up and down, then ending in a way that I never thought would ever happen to me.
​
This is my story. This story begins with an event which changed the path which my life was travelling on. I dare you to come along for the ride on the most thrilling experience of my life.
5/5 Stars. This book was really well written. It really made me understand how a resident in a long term care views his life."

It is the web which we weave when we first begin to deceive. Everybody has cobwebs in dark closets in their lives. This sequel to The RSA Adventure – The untold story now revealed now goes back in time to the events which David wrote about in his journal when he became a resident in the same nursing home where he had worked for the past thirty-five years. This time the events were written in time from the point of view of Janet and Steve who were security guards at the town’s University.

For every story there is always another side of that story. These events were like an exciting roller coaster ride loaded with tons of surprises and of course this ride ends in a way which no one could ever predict.

​I dare you to come along for the ride of your life. Revisit the events of the first book and experience them in a different way. Yes, the web which we weave when we first start to deceive.
