Misdeeds -- Finding an anchor -- What would God think of that? -- Discovering a new world -- Jailhouse rock -- A song for the dead -- Making friends -- Trying to make life easier doesn't always work -- Accidents will happen -- New helpers -- The book that smacked of the truth -- Fishing for words -- Born with ink in his veins -- Give me your soul -- Please never come to visit me again -- Thinking more of God's past blessings -- A new challenge -- The best is yet to be.

Aschmann's abundance of physical and intellectual energy, linked with a passionate curiosity and empathetic concern for the language and culture of the Totonac people, enable him to translate three distinct Totonac New Testaments. This became the foundation for the remarkable growth of the Totonac church in Mexico.
