Brief Summary
Wisdom from the Journey takes the reader on an odyssey that includes original poetry and thoughtful comments on life.  Based upon reader recommendations and the author’s personal favorites, this book is a compilation of the “best” of the Poetical Journal, a monthly newsletter that is sent to thousands of subscribers worldwide.  Through poetry, personal and guest vignettes, comments, and recommendations, Bob captures the reader’s imagination as he tackles subjects from peace, spirituality, youth, aging, and love.  Yes, even a few travel and restaurant recommendations are thrown in as a bonus. 

In the opening chapter, Bob states, “My wish is that this reading journey will provide you with a bit of respite from everyday life, generate a few laughs, cause good feelings about yourself and humanity, encourage introspection, and at certain times twinge your conscience on critical issues and thoughts.  Upon reading the last page, I hope you will smile and say, That felt good!

What some people are saying –

"I'm a licensed lay minister at ..., Larraine. was kind enough to gift me with a copy of your Wisdom from the Journey book. I'm constantly reading stuff so it was an appreciated surprise. I put the book by my bed and included it among the things that I read in little bite-sized chunks as I go to bed at night. Just this past week I finished sharing your journey(s) by way of your book. It is now my intent to log onto your website and get signed up for a continuation of the journey via the monthly PJ. I'll be passing the book on to my friend Bruce who I know will love going along to the places you'll take him..." – Greg
