I’m certainly glad this is go time! Been hitting repeat on The Eternal Journey since it came out! 😅 I have no doubt this expanded version of that “pithy” little booklet will be a re-read and gift to others as well! Well done JR Bailey👏💫

Thanks, Beverly! That means a lot. I’m so glad The Eternal Journey found a place in your rhythm — hoping this fuller version does too.

This is wonderful news! I no longer have to periodically search for news on your beautiful and very anticipated tome. Tonight I was hoping to find any little tidbit of info on the status. The countdown has begun for real! Congrats. You are remembered every day! I cannot wait to introduce my friends to your writing and lead them on the journey. I seriously hope to lead at least one of my small groups through this. Thank you!

Celeste—thank you so much. I’m grateful for your encouragement and for the way you’ve carried this project with anticipation. The thought of you introducing friends to the journey, and even walking a group through it, is fantastic. When the time comes, I'd love to know how the concepts are landing with them. Happy New Year!

Jon, The Eternal Journey has been on my bedside table since I received it from Renovare. I have read and reread it most nights pondering where my life is going in the journey you have described . Thank you for this gift. I am so grateful for your dedication in bringing this new book to fruition.
