Produktbeschreibung
In Dialogues with Jen: On Issues of Daily Living, five friends, representing three generations, get together to discuss contemporary topics that touch their lives. The six dialogues unfold dramatically, reflecting situations of the participants, who share personal insights, sometimes surprisingly. Jen, the senior member, suggests the lead topic of romantic love, and the discussion moves from carnal attraction to conscious, purposeful love, citing Shakespeare's ""marriage of two minds."" Events of the tragic death of one member's sister and a terrorist attack witnessed by another member lead them to consider guilt, justice, and forgiveness. The dialogues are deeply rooted in spirituality, while not specific to any particular religious tradition. The author loosely draws on the classic Dialogues of Plato to develop arguments through the exchange of ideas of his fictional characters. This book is a sequel to Dialogues with Jay: On Life and Afterlife, but can be read independently.
Autorenporträt
Don Fletcher's writing combines the sensitivity of a poet and a religious thinker, reflecting his PhD in English from Princeton University and education as a Presbyterian minister. Having grown up in Korea in a missionary family, he served the church in Chile and the Caribbean, and back in the U.S. he taught English and biblical studies at high school and college levels. Ordained 70 years ago, he still preaches and leads spiritual studies in New Jersey. His other books include Doors of Bronze: a Narrative Poem on the Passion and Triumph of Jesus; Turnings: Lyric Poems Along a Road; I, Lukas, Wrote the Book; View from the Playroom Floor; and The Gift: Looking to Jesus As He Was.
