Coming 2027, three new books:

~A volume of spiritual formation poetry, tentatively titled, "A New and Ever Birthing Yes"

~A sequel to Sensible Shoes, tentatively titled, "Where the Ancient Way Lies." The characters reunite for a pilgrimage along the Fife Pilgrim Way in Scotland, about 15 years after they first met at the New Hope Retreat Center.

~A study guide for the pilgrimage book

I've been working on the poetry volume this past year, and I'll start work on the novel soon. I'm so excited to continue the journey with these friends, who have recently started talking to me again about what they've been doing since 2018 (when we last saw them in "Feathers of Hope"). We've all lived a lot of life since then!

As we conclude the second season of The Digital Examen, Jay Y. Kim reflects on our journey of learning to notice God together.
