< height=300 width=234>Title of Event: Jenifer Bubenik Reading: THOUGHTS FROM THE CHICKEN BUS
When: Thursday, February 18, 2010 7:00 PM
Location: POMEGRANATE BOOKS
Description: Join North Carolina author, Jenifer Bubenik, on Thursday, February 18, 7:00 PM, and ride along as she recounts the tales of her solo backpacking journey from Belize to Ecuador in her new release, Thoughts From the Chicken Bus. Armed with little more than hiking boots and pepper spray, the twenty-nine year old set out solo to Central America; with the goal to push her job and relationship out of her mind. What began as a three-week restorative breathing trip soon ended up as a three-month adventure through the back jungles, active volcanoes, and desolate beaches far beyond the safety-net of Belize.
Bubenik is a graduate of Appalachian State University.

In Due Season: A Catholic Life
by
Wilkes, Paul
Praise for In Due Season
"Paul Wilkes is that rarest of people--a deeply spiritual man who is also an absolutely exquisite writer. His absorbing new memoir reveals the wonderful things that can happen when you allow God to lead you along life's often bumpy path--whether or not you know where the journey will lead. This is a beautifully written, frequently haunting, and always fascinating story of seeking and finding, serving and loving, and--ultimately--dying and rising. Highly recommended."
--James Martin, SJ, author, My Life with the Saints
"Paul Wilkes's biography takes us through Paul's life, but through the stages of our own lives as well. As a result, at the end of it we can see how we, too, have become more than we ever thought we could be. Wilkes is a great writer-he has a refreshing style, a direct voice, and a stark and unfurbished honesty, even about himself. "In Due Season" has all the marks of Augustine's Confessions or Merton's Seven Storey Mountain. It gives the rest of us, whatever we've done, wherever we've been, hope. It helps us see the forest of our lives despite the trees."
--Joan Chittister, author, Called to Question: A Spiritual Memoir |
