Unemployed Idealist

Lakeside Imagination (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Lakeside Imagination is a collection of short stories with an interesting history. Long before they were written down, the stories were told to the inmates at a jail in a small northern Minnesotan county. The ideas in the stories clearly spoke to these men and women, often leading them through their imagination to another place (something to be cherished when your life is limited by cement block walls and barred windows.)

A few of the stories gradually migrated to paper as people requested a copy of a particularly meaningful story to share with a friend or family member.

Eventually, this anthology seemed the best way to offer these stories to a wider audience.

Autorenporträt

Twenty-five years ago, having just left the military, Unemployed Idealist embarked on an experiment. Instead of trading the hours of his life for money in hopes that at the end of the day (or week, or year, or career) a comfortable surplus would remain, 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 and his wife are ready to welcome home any of their seven children, eight grandchildren, or dozens of auxiliary family members, who could make in time for dinner.
