Establish the Work (ebook 250 pages)

Digital Book (ePub) Memoir - Mark Gedeon

What does it mean to leave a legacy that lasts?

My journey toward understanding that question began in the institutional landscape of a children’s home. Separated from my mother and siblings for three formative years, I learned to survive with intensity, cloaking myself in an “I-don’t-care” attitude and an independence designed for survival rather than connection.

For decades, that way of living served me well.

Until it didn’t. 

Rooted in the prayer “Establish the work of our hands,” from Psalms 90, this memoir reflects on a life shaped by unexpected paths as a business trainer, high school teacher, and father of seven.

Told through vivid stories - some humorous, some painful - it traces a gradual thaw and transformation of emotional health. Through faith, family, and the steadying influence of a fifty-year marriage, noting the unmistakable fingerprints of God in both the ordinary and the extraordinary.

It is a story about the work God establishes, not by what we accomplish, but His work through us and who we become.
