Some people refuse to read books. They prefer looking at pictures. When I ask them how they learn to master difficult topics, they tell me they don’t. If they think that reading books is difficult, they should try reading people. This is genuinely difficult because the pages of the mind change really quickly, if you get my drift. Over the course of my career, I have nearly 60 books. Yet I am just getting started. Currently I have abut 15 books in book stores around the world including Barnes & Noble. A few have been published as Collector’s Editions. Several of my books have been published as foreign language editions and made available in libraries. Currently, I offer several of my books through Systems Management Institute Press, my parent company, at www.smirsp.com. A few of my publications addressing Pastoral Counseling are listed below.
