INQUIRE WITHIN
An Evening with Author JIM PAPP
A Free Event Open to All!
Light Refreshments will be served.
Join us for Bellingham author Jim Papp reading from and discussing his new book Inquire Within: A Companion Guide to Living in Spirit. Drawing on a broad spectrum of traditions, from the spiritual to the secular, Jim brings together a highly readable guide book which profiles such proven tools as prayer, meditation, gratitude, and kindness for creating and maintaining a balanced and harmonious life.
Jim has studied spirituality and metaphysics for the past thirty years and for many years has studied with Mayan teachers and made periodic pilgrimages to ancient Mayan cities in Mexico. Inquire Within brings together the riches of all of these experiences.
“I am thrilled to share my book with the world and grateful to receive the positive comments from my readers. To be able to offer guidance, just as others have helped and guided me, is an honor. Spiritual practice is our individualized way of learning to live in the ever-present now, and provides a rudder which guides us in seas both smooth and stormy.”
Gallery owner Rob Schouten says, “I’ve known Jim for over twenty-five years and have long found his quiet unassuming wisdom to be of real value. We are really looking forward to having him at the gallery. Inquire Within is an inspiring and reader-friendly book you’ll want for your library.”
