Mortal Adhesions

A Surgeon Battles the Seven Deadly Sins to Find Faith, Happiness, and Inner Peace

By: John Sottosanti

Narrated by: John Sottosanti

Discover the life-changing memoir that reads like a riveting novel—a-pause-resister—but reveals the secrets to obtaining profound peace and happiness.

Relying on his intelligence and perseverance, Dr. Sottosanti achieved the American dream at age forty-two—money, power, fame, and a clifftop house overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Finding himself mired in the Seven Deadly Sins (his “mortal adhesions”) and helpless to extricate himself, he cried out in despair, “God, if you are up there, all I want is inner peace.” And with that one submission, his life changed, resulting in a cascade of improbable and unbelievable events, culminating in a salvific miracle experienced in the tomb of a medieval saint during a pilgrimage on Spain’s Camino de Santiago. Faith, happiness, and inner peace followed. Readers will travel with him to learn life’s lessons in an inspiring, riveting, fast-paced memoir.

Critic reviews

“A great book . . . What a rollicking story of faith”——-Gus Lloyd, on Seize the Day, Sirius Satellite Radio.

“A compelling memoir . . . It will inspire you.”——Drew Mariani on The Drew Mariani Show, Relevant Radio.

Amazing conversion story

Dr. Sottosanti’s honesty impressed me. From an egocentric successful professional to a humble man devoted to his Catholic faith.

Very real perspective on faith journey

I like that the story was not rose colored and in many ways unfinished but thoughtful and provoking

His journey of honesty

I liked his relatable search for God, that he read his true story himself, and that he found what he was searching for.
