Sabbatical of the Mind

Though David Winters had come to know God long before, somewhere along a hectic Washington career path he had misplaced his personal peace. Leaving his secure, six-years-from-retirement government job, David began a five-month journey to physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial peace--and to the fulfillment of a few lifelong dreams. In some way everyone faces what he did: What is life really about? Do I dump my dreams now that I've reached midlife, or is there hope? Do I just work until I drop, or can I find deeper meaning? David asked the hard questions, took the big steps, and found lasting peace. Do you need peace? Is there a dream on hold? Then you will be inspired by David's story and find hope for your own future. This is a great book for people who are searching for meaning in the middle of everyday life. It provides hope and steers readers to answers to life's big and difficult issues. The book includes appendices with helpful resources to the seeker. Excerpt: My colleagues and I sat down at a ridiculously large table with comfortable chairs. Immediately I knew I was not well.
