Pray the Trail Walk with minister/poet Jim Dant and photographer Mark Strozier through one of the most scenic portions of the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail in Macon, Georgia. Beginning at Gateway Park and journeying north to Jackson Springs Park, they will take you - step by step, prayer by prayer, image by image and meditation by meditation - on a contemplative walk along the river. |  | | | |  | The Truth is Sensational Enough Holidays come around every year. The older we get, the less magical they seem. All of the gaud that accompanies the seasons rarely provides the meaning and solace we seek in the capsule of their hours. Jim Dant guides us from Advent to Christmas to Epiphany to Lent to Easter to Pentecost…with a lot of stops in between. Each meditation – tied to a season – provides enough insight to foster tears, laughter, awe…and that little ‘aha experience’ we expect from holy days… and hope for everyday. | | | | Background Music What does a father say to his oldest daughter upon her graduation from high school? Jim Dant jotted his thoughts in the form of a book and tucked it in his daughter’s luggage the night before she left for college. These honest, poignant and affirming words should be read by every child and parent. You may not agree with Jim Dant on every subject, but you will respect his courage to share and to love. |  | | | |  | CrossWalk Developed for a church Sunday School program, CrossWalk is a graded, six year study curriculum for children in first through sixth grade.

Parents who purchase the complete set will have the joy of walking their child through the whole of biblical literature. | | | | I & II Samuel Arranged for four sessions of group or private study, this book challenges the reader to better understand the primary tensions of life through the biblical books of 1 & 2 Samuel. Jim Dant explores the life events surrounding the books’ four major characters: Samuel, Saul, David and God. In each of their lives, a particular source of tension is explored: political, theological, relational and spiritual. The insights are fresh and relevant. Relieve some of the tension and stress in your life by delving into these pages. |  | |
