What happens when everything you've ever known... no longer fits? Marvin Martin was raised in the quiet strength of Mennonite tradition-where life moved slowly, silence ran deep, and hard work was everything. But at 25, he stepped away from that world, not out of rebellion-but out of becoming. In From Mennonite to Motor Man, Marvin shares his deeply personal story of leaving the only life he'd ever known to build something new. What started as a leap into the unknown became a journey of learning, leading, losing, and rediscovering who he really was. This isn't a book about escaping the past-it's about carrying the best of it forward. Through stories of dusty cabinet shops, failed business deals, and quiet victories on a car lot in Northern Ontario, Marvin reflects on faith, identity, sales, resilience, and the slow, beautiful process of becoming a man you can be proud of. Honest. Humble. Hopeful. For anyone who's ever left something behind in search of something more-this book is for you.
