“I have known Stephen G. Post since he was fifteen; I was his house mother at boarding school at St. Paul’s in New Hampshire. At that time, he was taking courses with my then-husband, Rev. Rod Welles, and talking about a dream, synchronicity, infinite Mind, and things Emersonian. Even then, he clearly marched to another drummer and had a mirthful wisdom beyond his years. It never surprised me that he went west on Route 80. I always learn something from his books, and I am reminded of how we are meant to live in faith. God and Love on Route 80 is the book he sometimes spoke about writing when the time was right. To open this, you have to be open to surprises.”
—Julia Norman
Stephen’s house mother at St. Paul’s
“A work of love and a gift. Stephen G. Post’s spiritual journey resonates with those of us who are still looking for meaning in a world that, at times, appears increasingly meaningless. His book conveys a sense of ultimate unity that is both refreshing and inspiring in times of pessimism and divisiveness.”
—Salvatore Mangione, MD
Co-Director of Medical Humanities, the Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia
“For over two decades, Stephen G. Post has been a part of Alzheimer families, care communities, and uncountable simple visits with the deeply forgetful and those who care about them. Stephen is part poet and part prophet, with a lightning fast wit and a storyteller’s kind heart. All these gifts combine in this new work to teach, evoke our empathy and (gently) demand that we acknowledge the personhood and mysterious inner life of the deeply forgetful.”
—Michel Splaine
Former Director of State Government Affairs in the Public Policy Division of the Alzheimer’s Association; Splaine Consulting
“Stephen G. Post explains the connectivity between mind, life, and living beautifully in God and Love on Route 80. His experiences of infinite Mind break through to take us beyond our small, everyday awareness to a true oneness with the Ultimate. Life on Route 80 is life at a higher level of Consciousness. What a thrilling journey!”

“Dr. Stephen G. Post’s book God and Love on Route 80 reminds us that we are here for a reason, we matter, there is purpose and magic to life, and that our soul and the universe conspire to support us in unfolding and achieving that purpose. When we come to truly understand this, we can embody an incredible power that rapidly expands, validates itself, and enables us to optimize every element of our life. Thank you, Stephen, for making the world a better place and for sharing your wisdom with us.”
