Rewiring Your Mind, Renewing Your Soul
The honest story of healing from a body trapped in fight-or-flight, braided together with the science of how the brain learns fear and a verse-by-verse walk through Psalm 23. For anyone living with an illness no test can explain — the believer, the skeptic, and everyone in between.
A Companion for the Healing Path
The companion workbook, in four stages taken at your own pace — Learning to Rest, Renewing the Mind, Reclaiming the Body, and Learning to Receive. Simple daily practices, reflective worksheets, and weekly rhythms to carry the work into real days.
He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.
Psalm 23:2–3Ann Monthei never set out to be a writer. She set out, simply, to get well.
The illness came on slowly, a mystery no doctor could fully explain, and for a long time she searched for answers no one seemed able to give. What finally brought healing was the renewing of her mind and the steady presence of her Shepherd, the God she had given her life to twenty years before. He guided her through every step of the way, and she could not keep it to herself.
Pathways of Peace is her first book. She wrote it for the person still on the bathroom floor, still waiting for answers, so they would not have to walk that road believing they are alone, or crazy, or too far gone. The Pathways of Peace Guide is its companion — the practices, the Scripture, and the daily rhythms that carried her through the valley to the table, gathered so you can walk your own road, at your own pace.
Ann lives in Boynton Beach, Florida, just over the line from Delray Beach, the city that still feels like home, where she and her husband Al are usually out somewhere in their golf cart. She paints and designs for the joy of it, and sells educational printables in a small Etsy shop.
I welcome your questions and your stories, wherever you are on the road.
