]]> Nearly five years ago, John Schlimm of St. Marys, Pennsylvania, wrote about his unlikely friendship with an aging Benedictine nun that turned into a popular memoir, Five Years in Heaven.

Sold around the world, including Korea and China, the book offers poignant scenes between John and the late Sister Augustine Huefner, who had been a resident artist at St. Joseph Monastery, the first Benedictine monastery of women in the U.S.

During his five years of weekly visits, John encouraged Sister Augustine to continue to create art — in the form of colorful ceramic bowls and an abundance of other items. And she inspired him to be his most creative, loving, forgiving and compassionate self.

Read the following Q&A with the author to find out more about Five Years in Heaven and the inspiration behind all of his 19 books.

]]> “With the release of Moonshine: A Celebration of America’s Original Rebel Spirit, I have now written 18 books while living in the Pennsylvania Wilds. From this home base of historic small towns, green fields, and vast woodlands, the impact of these books has reached far and wide across the U.S. and the globe—Italy, France, Korea, China. Their ripples outward carry with them the can-do attitude and gutsy fortitude that are rooted right back here in this land we love.

While success is a thrill, and a blessing for sure, I never lose sight of where it’s grounded. I’m humbled to be merely a messenger with a pen. My name on book covers isn’t nearly as important as the party waiting inside on pages that I hope will inspire, entertain, impact, satiate, propel, and stand the test of time long after I have passed this way. . . .”
