The Riches of Pennies

November 19, 2011 in General

Is the weight of the world in your backpack?

You too are carrying one...yes, you!

If I had a penny for all of my thoughts, I wouldn’t have to sell books. No, I’d be wealthy enough to just give them away! But, as the case may be for fiction in this non-fictional world…

There’s Harry Potter and Twilight. Indeed, there is Left Behind and the Dark Tower Series. We all remember the Wizard of Oz books written by L. Frank Baum and the film version remains as one of my all-time favorites.

And then there is The Wayfarers trilogy; the third and final book to be released on 12/1/11…

It is The Wayfarers that changed this writer’s daily thought process. It is The Wayfarers that made my music seem very unimportant, as no one listens to or purchases it anyway. Indeed, it is the Wayfarers that made this scribe endeavor to reach into the world of books and not just the inspirational columns, “Storm Warnings”, and opinion pieces that had been my literary outlet up until January of 2010. It is The Wayfarers that took me on a journey alongside the characters contained therein; and how I would love to know them (well, some of them) in the non-fictional, natural world!

If you have read Left Behind, the Wizard of Oz, Twilight, Harry Potter, the Dark Tower series, or Pilgrim’s Progress – you may find something that suits your fancy in this Wayfarers trilogy that is quick to read but exceedingly hard to forget. There are readers that have mentioned through private communication that this series is “life-changing” – and I greatly appreciate that sentiment but for you personally it is after all a personal decision.

So, I keep thinking about these books and earning my pennies for those thoughts. And I am indeed grateful that through these words you heard me out!

God bless you,
Jim
