Joy Filled Souls (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781955581745)

From the Foreword by John Killinger

I have to say it. I'm blown away by this book. I've ready many of my friend-and-former- student Jim's books, but this one, as special as all have been, is really special. Nobody but Jim would have thought of writing a book about the soul. Not today. The Greeks and Hebrews talked a lot about soul in ancient times, but our society has grown away from such weighty concepts.

We talk instead about egos and personalities and centers of being, but not souls. To us, souls have become amorphous-mere references to our existence and not to anything more.

Jim has taken us back to a more religious and embracing concept of who we are, of what constitutes our being, and dared to write about his favorite subject, joy, as it relates to this hallowed and ancient concept. That's what blows me away. It is a daring and enormous undertaking. By reminding us of this old and revered idea of who we are-who each of us is - it challenges us to review everything we know and feel about ourselves.
