The book Beyond the Wall the Journey Home is a highly acclaimed book regarding PTSD and the effects of war after returning home. It was written with one purpose in mind, which was to act as a vehicle to explain what so many veterans cannot explain to their families, wives, children and others. The book is the voice of all veterans and was written to allow families, spouses, children and others to finally say "NOW I UNDERSTAND"!

The Beyond the Wall the Journey Forward Seminar and Work Shop was developed by Mr. Butts to provide one more step in the understanding of how combat veterans think, perceive and deal with the visions and thoughts that never leave the veterans for a one moment.

He shares his story with the goal of providing more understanding of how combat veterans think, perceive and deal with the visions and thoughts that stay with them forever.

The seminar goes through each chapter of the book and asks veterans the question, "how does this relate to your experiences and what does it mean to you"? It also speaks for every veteran and helps families and friends say "NOW I UNDERSTAND"!!!

The workshop allows the veterans (with their families if they desire) to discuss how each chapter of the book relates to their experiences in the war. It also allows veterans to express themselves through a third party, namely Dennis Michaels, who is Mr. Butts in the book. By hearing in-depth discussions about what happened to Dennis Michaels, veterans can finally begin the Journey Forward!
