Publisher's Summary

In 1892, a young man left his home in the coastal foothills of Lebanon in search of a better life. Coming to America with his newlywed wife, he found work as a traveling peddler, before settling on a small farm in central Nebraska.

Years later, personal tragedy and an unexpected midnight visit from a saint changed the course of his life. 

Seeing the desperate need of his fellow orthodox Christians and heeding God’s call, he would spend the rest of his life traversing the Great Plains as a circuit-riding priest, known to his thousands of parishioners as Father Nicola Yanney. 

His legacy stands alongside that of St. Raphael Hawaweeny, his mentor, as a seminal force in the American Orthodox Church of our day.

A Spiritual and Historical Story

Amongst the frequent and, at times, continuous listening to the seemingly endless travels, was the story of a saint of God totally committed to his Lord, his family, his church, his community and to everyone else. I learned much about the Syrian community both in the old country and in America. I learned they were devout people, but could be troublesome within their own community on divisive issues. In the end I felt a connection with my maternal grandfather, who I never met, but also died in Canada as a victim of the Spanish Flu in 1918.
