Unemployed Idealist

Lakeside Imagination (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Lakeside Imagination is an anthology of stories with an exciting history. Long before they were written down, they were told many times to the inmates at the local jail in a small northern Minnesotan county. Not only did the ideas in the stories speak to these men and women, but they seemed to enjoy the way the stories took them to another place (something to be cherished when your life is limited by cement block walls and barred windows.)

The stories made it to paper individually as people requested a copy of a particularly meaningful story to share with a friend or family member.

Eventually an anthology seemed the best way to offer these stories to a broader audience.

Autorenporträt

Twenty-Five years ago, having just left the military, Unemployedidealist embarked on an experiment. Instead of trading the hours of his life for money in hopes that the end of the day (or week, or year, or career) would result in a surplus, he wanted to see if it was possible to do first what he believed was most important. In addition to a host of unexpected destinations, this experiment led him weekly to the county jail where, as a volunteer, he has honed his skills as a storyteller, enlivening lessons of life and faith in the imaginations of his friends behind bars. He and his sons built a home in the woods of Northern Minnesota "up the hill," from his father's cabin, where he lives with his wife and whichever of their 7 children, 8 grandchildren, or dozens of "auxiliary" family members, made it home in time for dinner that day.
