Why Happiness Isn’t the Goal — and Never Was
For years, we’ve been told that happiness is the destination.
That if we work hard enough, heal enough, believe enough, or wait long enough, life will eventually reward us with a lasting sense of contentment.
But what if happiness was never meant to carry that weight?
In Finding Peace, Keith Thorn offers a quiet, deeply honest exploration of what remains when happiness proves unreliable—and what becomes possible when we stop chasing it altogether. Read More

In this honest, soulful journey through life’s most difficult terrain, author Keith Thorn shares timeless truths about pain, resilience, and transformation. Whether you’re grieving a loss, rebuilding your life, or simply searching for deeper meaning, No Mud. No Lotus offers powerful reflections and practical wisdom for turning suffering into strength.
With raw stories, gentle guidance, and grounded hope, this book reminds us:
You are not broken. You are becoming.
Families don’t fall apart because of politics, beliefs, or lifestyle choices.
They fall apart because pride speaks louder than humility… and ego speaks louder than love.
The Distance We Didn’t See is a deeply vulnerable reflection on family estrangement, late-in-life growth, and the quiet hope that grace can outlive the damage misunderstandings create.
Drawing from decades of mistakes, broken marriages, emotional reactions, and the long, slow journey of healing, Keith Thorn writes not as a victim, but as a man who finally understands the distance his children felt—and the distance he never saw. Read More
In a world that demands reaction, A Warrior in the Garden is a quiet revolt.
This powerful narrative follows Kaori, a girl forged in silence and raised through traditional sword arts, who learns that true strength isn’t found in striking first—but in knowing when not to strike at all.
From barefoot days in a cedar-scented dojo to battles fought without ever drawing her blade, Kaori grows into the kind of warrior the world rarely sees—one trained for war, yet choosing peace. A disciplined student of kenjutsu, she carries the ancient principles of breath, balance, and composure into a world that confuses calm for weakness. Read More
We can’t change what happened—but we can change what it means.

Thorn—known for his books on redemption and renewal—draws from personal experience, relational insight, and spiritual reflection to reveal how transformation begins when we stop dragging the past into the future. Each chapter helps readers separate event from identity, lesson from wound, so that grace can do its quiet work of restoration. Read More
