Failing Retirement again

It is about twenty months since I retired from parish ministry and set off on a pilgrimage up the Ganges River in the footsteps of the Buddha to find awakening and enlightenment.  That experience led me to envision and write a spiritual memoir now being published as SPIRITUAL AUDACITY: Six Disciplines of Human Flourishing.   New York Times bestselling authors Sheila Heen and Douglas Stone describe its story as: "Jim's spiritual journey takes him to the farthest reaches of the earth -- and to the inner sanctum of his heart."You can find a further description of the book, and other testimonials, and even buy the book and write a review of your own (yes please do) at amazon.comhttps://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Audacity-Disciplines-Human-Flourishing/dp/1634890760/The B U School of Public Health thought my message on human flourishing so important for its faculty and students it has organized a free September 13, 2017 seminar on how religious disciplines impact human health, based largely on my book.  Please register and attend:http://www.bu.edu/sph/news-events/signature-events/deans-seminars/book-release-events/spirituality-and-public-health-how-religious-disciplines-impact-human-health/Then First Parish in Concord is hosting a book launch party from 7 pm to 9 pm Friday September 22, 2017 to welcome this book into the world.  All are invited!So now I am busily working on my second book, SPIRITUAL PILGRIM: Lessons from Mystic Journeys with Five Faiths having clearly failed retirement again.  Where the spirit leads I go.
