Produktinformationen zu „The Tree of Life and Wisdom (ePub)“

The Tree of Life and Wisdom is an account of his search for a more encompassing spirituality. From a hard-driving CEO to a man facing his own death with a diagnosis of stage 4 colon cancer, Jerry tracks his growing understanding of the Divine. In day-to-day living, through meditation, he finds meaning, compassion, and peace.

His writing sparkles with light touches of humor as well as candor. Scenes from his essays and life include:

an encounter with the Divine in the person of a donut-giving saint
a vision at a poker table while playing Texas Hold'em
an exploration of the deep connection between decay and rebirth while visiting a Shaker cemetery
a recounting of his failed marriage, the joy of remarriage, and the healing of relationships with his daughters

In many ways, Jerry's journey echoes the yearnings of those unaffiliated with a specific religion, yet yearn for a deeper spirituality, to experience the language of God through warmth and awe-to encounter the Presence.

Autoren-Porträt von J. W. Burgess

After earning an MBA from the University of Cincinnati, J. W. (Jerry) Burgess served in executive positions in various nonprofit hospitals, culminating with the founding of a health insurance company that provided coverage to low-income individuals. During the last 50 years, Jerry also pursued his passion-his calling-for studying theology and philosophy. In 2019, he fulfilled a longtime dream of enrolling in a graduate degree program at Vanderbilt Divinity School in Nashville. After the discovery in 2020 that he had colon cancer, he concentrated his Vanderbilt studies in creative writing, ultimately producing this book of essays dedicated to his daughters. Jerry and his wife, Melanie, live in Knoxville, Tennessee, with their mischievous dog, Jackson. They have four daughters and two grandchildren.
