The Chronicles of Henson

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Paul John Hausleben's most beloved character returns in a new set of stories and adventures, with Lutheran bishop and pastor, Paul John Henson as the main character and the first-person narrator in this remarkable collection of stories and adventures. The stories allow the reader to venture along as the character, through his classic narration, details more of his extraordinary adventures and captures the pain as well as the joy of everyday life. Set in the timeline of the aftermath of the final adventures of Harry and Paul, these six remarkable stories find Henson now in retirement from his pastoral career and in an effort to rid his mind of, as he describes them, "The Ghosts," Henson is now dabbling as an author. In reflection, Henson details highlights of his long career while working in his often-reluctant profession as a Lutheran pastor, and then as a bishop, and doing his best to guide his friends, followers, and loved ones as they all make their way through what Henson calls, "The twists and turns of life." As Henson does so, the reader gains insight into his writing direction as Henson writes his deepest thoughts in private letters or as he calls them "Chronicles" to his beloved, deceased wife. Letters that contain his innermost thoughts and emotions and his deep love of his wife, all they shared, and his wonderment at the world around him. Letters that Henson writes privately and he writes as if they will never be read, only shared through love. On the other hand, will they be read? The Chronicles of Henson contains the author's usual wide assortment of interesting characters, touches of humor, romance, strong and powerful religious opinions and overtones and a large dose of poignant emotions as told through the words and eyes of Pastor Paul John Henson. At times, the stories are deep, dark, and tearful. Yet, between the tears and the laughs, as it usually is with both the author and the character, the overwhelming message is positive and despite the painful aspects of life, there is much joy too. This collection contains the powerful tearjerker of a story of romance The Silver Locket, which is a short story that fans of the author's romantic stories always rate as one of his best stories of romance. As the author details in his introduction to the stories, "The hidden message from Henson is that the root of life and all religions is really all about love. Dear reader, love him or despise him, who can argue really with Henson on that one?" Enjoy the stories and adventures of this new classic and share the remarkable storytelling magic of Mr. Hausleben combined with some powerful and raw emotions. Readers everywhere are sure to enjoy the ride together.

Autorenporträt

t is difficult to classify the work of Paul John Hausleben. One critic's words might be the best description so far, when he wrote, "Mr. Hausleben is a myriad of storytelling adventures. When Mr. Hausleben writes humor, he is today's Jean Shepherd. When he dabbles in emotions, drama, fantasy or the other genres that he ventures into, then he is impossible to classify. His now, seemingly endless cast of characters has become almost 'Dickens-like.' He is indeed; a master storyteller and that might be the best description of all." If you are lucky enough to meet Paul John Hausleben in person and have a chance to sit and speak with him, then we can guarantee that it will be a magical experience. If your luck is exceptional and you are able to lure him into a story or two, then it will be forever memorable. As many people have said, you will not meet a better storyteller. Paul himself will tell you that he is not an author, he will insist in saying that he is just a storyteller. His mission is to continue to write and tell stories to warm your heart, make you laugh, and sometimes make you cry - just a little. Most of all, he deals in memories, and helping you to also remember the good times of your own life, and the special people who touched you along the way. Paul was born and raised in Paterson, and then nearby Haledon, New Jersey, and began writing at an early age. He revisited a writing career later in his life, and he now is the author of a number of novels, compilations, short stories and other works. Most of his work, touches upon nostalgic remembrances of simpler times, and tells the stories of heartfelt, humorous, and special human relationships. Other than writing, among many careers both paid and unpaid, he is a former semi-professional hockey goaltender, a music fan and music reviewer, an avid sports fan, photographer and amateur radio operator. He now resides in Somewhere, U.S.A., but his heart always remains along Belmont Avenue in good old Paterson, and Haledon, New Jersey.
