The Resting Place: Thoughts along the Way
Part memoir, part meditation, and part collection of essays and poetry, this revised and updated edition reflects on faith, memory, service, loss, gratitude, and hope. Drawing on experiences at home and around the world, Mayer considers the people who sustain us and the moments that gradually reveal what matters most.
Readers can visit it a chapter at a time for companionship and perspective in life’s uncertain seasons.
There are moments in life when we quietly realize that something within us is unsettled. Outwardly, life may appear successful enough. We move through our routines, fulfill responsibilities, celebrate accomplishments, endure disappointments, and continue forward much as everyone else does. Yet beneath the surface there often remains a deeper longing—a search for peace, meaning, forgiveness, purpose, or understanding.From the foreword

About Praxis Legacy Press
Praxis Legacy Press is the personal publishing imprint for the books of James E.H. Mayer.
Praxis is the act of putting ideas, lessons, and beliefs into practice. Legacy is what our actions and relationships leave with others. Together, the words express a thread running through Jim’s writing: what we learn matters most in how we live it, and in what we pass on.
The books gathered here range from reflections and leadership to Cold War fiction. Each explores, in a different way, the choices people make and the lives those choices touch.
