Dialogues with Jen: On Issues of Daily Living

In Dialogues with Jen: On Issues of Daily Living five friends representing three generations get together to discuss contemporary topics which touch their lives. The six dialogues unfold dramatically reflecting situations of the participants who share personal insights sometimes surprisingly. Jen the senior member suggests the lead topic of romantic love and the discussion moves from carnal attraction to conscious purposeful love citing Shakespeares “marriage of two minds.” Events of the tragic death of one members sister and a terrorist attack witnessed by another member lead them to consider guilt justice and forgiveness. The dialogues are deeply rooted in spirituality while not specific to any particular religious tradition. The author loosely draws on the classic Dialogues of Plato to develop arguments through the exchange of ideas of his fictional characters. This book is a sequel to Dialogues with Jay: On Life and Afterlife but can be read independently.
