John Vieira shares his honest and deeply personal journey of identity, mental illness, addiction, and spiritual recovery. This powerful memoir is not just about his past— but about the healing power of faith and truth.
What happens when the world around you doesn’t see who you really are?
Born in Guyana and brought to the UK as a child, John faced years of cultural confusion, rejection, and name-calling that deeply hurt his sense of self. Despite his early education and potential, he struggled with identity, being wrongly labeled and misunderstood by those around him. His life spiraled through poverty, homelessness, addiction, and psychiatric misdiagnoses. But his story didn’t end there.
What makes this book unique is John’s return to the teachings of Christian Science. He was first introduced to the Eleventh Church of Christ, Scientist in London during his youth. Years later, after being hospitalized and struggling with mental health challenges, he reconnected with this spiritual path. Through prayer, scripture, and deep reflection on the works of Mary Baker Eddy, John found clarity, peace, and purpose.
Saved from Dementia is filled with reflections, personal essays, and real-life experiences that explore the pain of being misunderstood and the strength it takes to heal from within. John speaks openly about the power of Divine Science and how it helped him break through emotional trauma and find a renewed sense of identity—not as “Omar,” the name wrongly given to him, but as John, a Christian man with Latin roots and God-given worth.
