Attending book events like the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books continues to play an important role in connecting stories with readers. It opens doors for collaboration, discovery, and inspiration that go beyond the pages of a book. As Citi of Books carries this momentum forward, readers are invited to explore featured titles in their Book Gallery, including “Jesus, Dyslexia, and Me” by Terry Montang.
Terry Montang is a veteran, educator, and business owner whose life reflects perseverance and faith. He served for over three decades in the military, including time in the Iowa Army National Guard, with deployments overseas.
Beyond his military service, he pursued higher education, worked in deaf education, and built a life centered on family and faith. His experiences—both personal and professional—inform his writing, giving it authenticity and depth.
“Jesus, Dyslexia, and Me” by Terry Montang is a heartfelt memoir that blends personal struggle with spiritual transformation. The book tells the story of a man who faced the challenges of Dyslexia from a young age and ultimately found strength, purpose, and identity through faith in Jesus Christ. Structured as a collection of short, reflective stories, the narrative captures both the pain of misunderstanding and the triumph of perseverance. It is a story not just about overcoming a learning disability, but about redefining one’s worth beyond labels and limitations.
For readers seeking inspiration, especially those facing learning difficulties or personal struggles, this book provides a powerful reminder: your story is not determined by your limitations, but by your perseverance and faith.
