Beyond Self

Beyond Self: Following the Way of Jesus is a collection of daily meditations and prayers encouraging people to follow the way of Jesus for the benefit of their spiritual growth. Acknowledging a unity of mind, body, and spirit, the meditations in Beyond Self also recognize that there is a dominant element of these three within people at any point in time. As they move beyond self and permit the Holy Spirit to guide their life, people can begin to discern the balance God intends.

"The diversity of my professional experience, my dedication to spiritual development, and a deep desire to share a profound love of God are the cornerstones of my ministry.
