Follow on Google News |  "The Chair" out sells all Sunbury Press books for the month of October 2014Sunbury Press has released the bestsellers list for October, 2014. Jim Campbell's memoir of his career as a pastor "The Chair" was #1.
The Chair About The Chair Sometimes, one needs a special mentor to find life and its wonder. Sometimes, that mentor is a chair. “The Chair is Pastor James Campbell’s spiritual odyssey that leads us through the night of emptiness and then emerges into the light of compassion, intervention, and redemption. Through his renovation of a simple chair, reverence for worn out sewing needles in the Japanese celebration of Hari-Kuyo, and reflection upon how stress to the Diamond Willows of Alaska produces works of art, this parable describes Campbell’s own epiphanies during the course of his life travels ministering to the forgotten and broken. "For members of the helping profession, caregivers, or those looking for meaning in meaningless times, Campbell is a valuable read. He will guide you, literally and figuratively, out of the ruins of the great dust bowl to a peaceful Colorado valley. And he will show you how all these things remain part of your soul." Steve Schoenmakers, M.S., Superintendent, Retired, Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo.
