Sycamore Hill – A Search For God When Life Doesn’t Make Sense
Message from Silouan: Sycamore Hill was written because an unlikely trio, three people who had never met each other, simultaneously urged me to write it – a combat veteran, a childhood rape victim, and a heroin addict. They asked me to put the words I used to help heal them into a book focused on redemption, direction, and finding our place with God after we’ve felt abandoned by him. Since publishing, I have been overwhelmed by the impact it’s had on people’s lives.
“Your book literally saved my life.” Lisa, Pennsylvania
“You helped me come to term with my life’s pain and the anger I’d always felt at God.” Scott, Missouri
“You are right. For the first time, I know I’m not alone.” Tina, United Kingdom
Synopsis: Sycamore Hill is a place of healing where one can breathe deeply and learn to live abundantly. It is where anger and despair at God turn into faith and hope.
David created Sycamore Hill from an old vacation retreat in the rolling woods outside of Bloomington, Indiana. He came here after a tragedy destroyed his family and left him alone with guilt, despair, and hopelessness. It is here that Jason and Zoe come to face their own demons – Jason a veteran of war who has been part of its horrors, Zoe a young lady haunted by brutality and shame.
Sycamore Hill teaches them how to live, how to find God, and most importantly, that they are not alone. And neither are you.

Who Am I? – an incredible journey of hope
When you’ve been broken and are staring into the abyss, your mind can take you to strange places. Life becomes a twisted tale. Who Am I? is the psychosomatic trip I took as I was slipping over the brink of sanity. Thankfully, it was a journey that led to purpose, hope, and a life of peace and joy. But to find life I’d have to stare down the barrel of gun, survive a tragic jet crash as a US Marine, suffer bullying and abuse, fight off hallucinations and demons and worse, and lay down every night to eerily lucid dreams that seemed more real than life itself.
Who Am I? is told from the point of view of the little child inside me who wanted to live when I wanted to die. I call him Samuel. Samuel’s magnificent journey is mine, and it’s probably a lot like yours. More than you would admit at least! 🙂 Writing helped exorcise my own demons and I have seen it give thousands of others like me hope. May reading it help you open the door to a new life.
We usually remain stuck because the fear of the unknown is greater than the fear we are living. Who Am I? more than anything gives hope that anyone who has been crushed by the trauma of life can live again, and the many more of us who just muddle don’t have to muddle. We can find a life of peace and joy. We have one life, live free!
