After events so incredible they warrant attention from movie makers, Joanie Bolton had no choice but to pen the amazing, though difficult-to-write, details in her book, With Unwashed Hands. Interviews on both television and radio helped Joanie’s emotional endeavor to achieve her main goal: help and encourage others. Joanie’s true story about events she and her husband, Darrell, experienced half-way around the world, take the reader on quitean emotional ride. The life-altering events include the horror of medical abuse, the sudden lossof a loved one, a peaceful near-death experience, and Divine intervention which spared her husband’s life. Joanie’s book has left readers emotionally exhausted, while at the same time full of hope. Her collection of heartfelt notes from her readers is priceless.
Joanie and Darrell have sacrificed their time and finances to help people around the world. Darrell’s 23 years of service in the US Air Force left the Boltons well-accustomed to travel. Since Darrell’s military retirement in 2004, they have visited twenty nations, assisting missionaries and lifting spirits by providing motivational material through speaking engagements in local villages and towns. The focus of the Boltons’ ministry is to provide compassionate help to those less fortunate, which includes teaching students in public schools, bringing food and toys to orphans and helping and encouraging missionaries--most often in third-world countries. It was on one of these trips to a partially-communist country that their tragic, yet triumphant,story unfolded.
