The true story behind the headlines of an amoral church bureaucracy and its unfettered legal team that together try to silence the truth. Of broken trust by those he had every reason to trust. Most of all, the story of one man who persevered through hell and back to keep children safe.
To David Samarzia, accurate details have always been important, both as an accountant and as an author. For decades he’s held onto boxes of documentation for his memoir — an indication of his determination to have the truth known and lives changed for the better by what he learned along the way.
"In these pages, David Samarzia has shared a deeply personal story that was challenging to write... Here is a reminder of the depths, the depravity, and the wounding power of sin...Sin so easily entangles (Hebrews 12:1). Does it ever! It is my prayer that these pages will help all of us to serve the David Samarzias of this world in a more Christ-like manner.”
Reverend John Lehenbauer, pastor,
The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod
“David went through hell trying to do the right thing. Church members shunned and insulted him, and accused him of money-grubbing—it was clear that money was the farthest thing from his mind. The church lawyers were savage. It was really shocking to see what should have been ministry to a deeply suffering person turned into innuendo, ugly accusations, and mockery... He was awarded the church in the lawsuit, but he gave it back. People still kept saying he was just looking for money.”
Susan Stanich, award-winning reporter for the Duluth News Tribune
