“I’m Home Yet Missing in Action” by Joseph Nosak is more than just a reflection on the challenges veterans face—it’s a guide to healing through intention, forgiveness, and a methodical approach to emotional well-being. Nosak introduces readers to Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a practice rooted in ancient acupressure but adapted to modern mental health. EFT helps veterans manage triggers that can bring back painful memories of their time in combat.
Forgiveness is a key theme in the book. Nosak stresses the importance of forgiving not just others, but oneself—especially for veterans who may carry feelings of guilt or shame from their service. There’s plenty of humor and humanity throughout, including coverage of “hug coupons” which represent the need for self-love and connection with others.
Nosak highlights the importance of setting an intention to heal, just as soldiers once set intentions to fulfill their missions. This act of intention becomes the foundation for moving forward, even when the mind is locked in survival mode. He emphasizes that many people, not just those who’ve served, can feel stuck in life, missing the connection to their emotions and dreams.
The techniques introduced in this book are universally applicable for anyone feeling stuck in life. Whether a person is battling PTSD, dealing with life’s disappointments, or struggling with deep emotional wounds, the book offers clear, actionable advice. “I’m Home Yet Missing in Action” is a must-read for those looking to heal from emotional scars and create a meaningful path forward.

“This is a heartfelt well-written account of a possible journey. The testimonies can bring you to tears, give you hope, inspire laughter and point toward home. The practical application of EFT is based on the clinical model and is user-friendly. It is liberating and life changing. I am grateful to Chaplain Joe who made himself available while he was finding his way home. That being said, it is possible for anyone to follow those footsteps.”

“Joseph Nosak is a brilliant writer in this book. I am very thankful I found this book, and am thankful he wrote it. This book helped me finally adjust after returning home from my third deployment. Everyone, especially veterans, can benefit from the EFT tapping method. Chaplain Nosak can help others ‘come home’ from de- ployments.”

“Chaplain Joe did a fantastic job relaying his experience in using the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT, tapping) himself, and with others!!! Thank you, Chaplain Joe!!! He took a fairly difficult process and simplified it very well. A few of his lines jumped out at me… ‘Smoke ‘em if you got em’ (sacred cows), lol, loved it!!! ‘Interrogate (the pain) without killing it. After all, you are the host,’ great advice! The ‘react team’ to describe fear, and how, if you never get to the ‘stand-down’ order, it impacts your health greatly…the ‘silent bridge’ to 80% of chronic disease is ‘stress’ or another way to understand it, chronic inflammation…if we’re ‘inflamed’ in our thoughts…we are ‘inflamed’ in our body. And, ‘Many do not realize pain can be held in place by lies.’ Fabulous insight! It is my hope that this resource is spread far and wide!!!”

““Coming home” is not only a recurring theme in the Bible it is also a recurring invitation and promise. But more important than just returning to our geographic home, when we come home the heav- enly Father runs to us and meets us en route and welcomes us and then works to heal and restore our true identity. Author Joseph Nosak, has responded to a strong calling from God, for him, to help people of the military make the journey of return and restoration. May Chaplain Joe’s insights bless you and welcome you home.”

“I have read Chaplain Joe’s book, I’m Home, Yet…Missing in Action, and believe I have become a better person, friend, and teacher. It opened my eyes and brought a new awareness to my life. I have learned the EFT principles and believe all students would benefit from tapping.”
