Wayne Judd has lived his entire life in motion, from birth all the way to his 80th birthday when he sat down at his computer long enough to write his life stories.

Born in a tiny farmhouse beside the Long Prairie River near Staples, Minnesota, Judd grew up in poverty. The Judds farmed with horses, milked cows by hand, lighted the tiny farmhouse and barn with kerosene lanterns, and used an outdoor toilet.

At the center of his life was his faith. . . until it wasn’t. In Motion captures his dramatic faith pursuits from childhood to retirement, from faith to unfaith.

He studied theology and music in college, then went to the seminary to become a minister.

Pastoring didn’t work for Judd, so he abandoned the pulpit for the classroom, first teaching religion in high schools, then in college. His flamboyant personality and revisionist ideas soon got him into trouble in his very conservative college. He was called upon to defend himself for five hours by a committee of the college board. When the board and administration decided to fire Judd, students raised such a ruckus that the board relented, and he left the college on his own volition two years later, finished an MBA, and completed his work life as a strategic planning and mission management executive in a 20-hospital health system.

Judd’s memoir captures both his energy and brash confidence that were his signature approach to life. He is both plain-spoken and fair with his antagonists, showing exuberant affection and joyousness for his collaborators and fellow mischief-makers.

The book reveals an astonishing level of detail. Over and over, Judd wrests the arc of meaning from ordinary moments—the sign of someone who has always told stories very successfully and who has lost none of the lecturer’s engaging knack for bringing forth a tale well-told.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Story by an Understatedly Great Man
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2022
I am one of thousands of students whose life, intellect, and person was positively influenced by Wayne Judd.
In his autobiography, Judd writes as he taught: very, very well.
He tells his story simply, without being simplistic. Humorously, with a tongue firmly in cheek. Concisely, without leaving out detail.
Moreover, as he did in the classroom, Judd demonstrates his kindness and intellectual honesty by offering well-considered theological and philosophical opinions without rancor or implied denigration of anyone who (or any organization which) may disagree with him.
I am a better man for having personally known “Elder Judd.” You, too, will be the better for having read this book.
[Edit] One additional point, and it’s telling. I’m autistic, officially diagnosed, etc… Back then autism was largely thought of as being schizophrenia, hence my often being called out for seeming strange. Elder Judd was one of three members of the Mt. Vernon Academy faculty/staff who didn’t make fun of me, either to my face or in front of other students. Safe people like he are 1) unusual; and 2) precious to people like me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read from a wonderful teacher and leader
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2022
The description of growing up in Minnesota reminded me of Lake Wobegon. Wayne did a good job of describing a troublesome time in Adventist history. I also appreciated the tribute to family.
