From The White House To The Amish: A Story Inspired By The Life Of Thomas E. Kirkman

Plot

Will God keep his end of the deal? Soon, Tom thought as he hurried to the hospital, I'll know if there is a God. And if He cares. When they graduated in 1952, Thomas Kirkman and his high school classmates made daring predictions about their future, including a trip to the moon. Though Tom never made it to the moon, his journey through life took him to places just as unique. But not even the prestige of working in the White House and the CIA could take away Tom's disillusionment and despair when he lost the most important person in his life. Convinced that God does not care, and may not even exist, Tom buried himself in his work and turned his back on God. Then, through an unexpected voice and an unpretentious Amish man, Tom Kirkman's life was forever changed. This work of biographical fiction echoes the true story of Thomas E. Kirkman--White House artist, CIA spy, inventor, and Amish man. --from back cover.
