Upper Darby, PA Author Publishes New Book

Life – Makes You Wonder, a new book by James Shelton, has been released by RoseDog Books.

In Life – Makes You Wonder, James Shelton explores modern-day anxiety and our almost constant search for purpose. He asks how many times in a week we might say, "I'm having a crazy day," or insist that, "I'm in a hurry." To go where? We are all headed to the same place: the graveyard. We seem to want to get there so very quickly.

Shelton has experienced life as a father, a divorced man, a clergyman, a chaplain, and a director of a fifty-bed homeless shelter. In these roles, it has been his challenge in life to talk to people about their problems-and ultimately to try to solve them.

Make no mistake, Shelton's book will make you sad, but it will also make you laugh-and above all, it will force you to think. He suggests that each of us ask ourselves the fundamental questions in our pursuit of ultimate happiness and purpose. Who am I? Where am I going? What can I do to enjoy this life rather than fear it?

Once you start to read Life – Makes You Wonder, you won't put it down.
