“In Unvarnished Faith, Bill reminds us that we’re all connected to an experience greater than ourselves and that the path to true meaning in life is through our relationships with others. This engaging and eye-opening narrative of his mission in Nicaragua will inspire you to live your best life as well as give you a framework for taking the first step in that direction.”
Doug Brunt, NYT Bestselling Author
A week in Nicaragua was all it took for Bill Yoh to see a new path before him.
From that mountain top experience came a new perspective on God’s purpose for his life. With that new purpose comes Bill’s best-selling book, Unvarnished Faith.
Cultural tensions, varying backgrounds, and denominational differences cloud out the bonds between us. Unvarnished Faith seeks to peel back the layers of difference to rediscover the raw love of God and the beauty of connecting with all God’s people.
Why Unvarnished Faith?
“May we see our error, mind our brash tongue
