John Redekop begins his memoir with an account of his forebears migrating from Russia in 1913. The story continues with a description of their impoverished farming years in Saskatchewan where John was born. His family endured dust storms and drought in the 1930s and then settled on a farm in British Columbia which required blasting tree stumps in order to bring virgin land into production. The book follows the chronology of his life. "Mennonite in Motion is an engaging and compelling tome of a read....a bounty and beauty of a book." Dr. Ron Dart "It reads like fiction but it's a real story of a great man of faith." Dr. Peter Nikkel "His observations and reflections are insightful, stimulating and frequently touching." Dr. Reginald Bibby "An engrossing and delightful read..... a truly epic autobiography." Dr. Janet Epp-Buckingham "This book tells the story of a truly fascinating and full life." Dr. Paul Chamberlain
