Editorial Reviews


""Keep not only your eyes but your heart open to the glimmers of hope and the signposts of love. They will be surrounding you at virtually every point in the journey as you find your bearings."" --Paul W. Chilcote, Methodist theologian and award-winning author ""Jim Harnish is one of our wisest and most trusted spiritual guides. He knows the terrain of life and ministry, he reads the present moment with realism and honesty, and he relies upon an array of resources that are sufficient for the journey. As we live through multiple crises and pandemics, a deep tradition provides assurance and hope. Finding Your Bearings is a guide in this faithful journey."" --Ken Carter, Bishop, Florida Conference, The United Methodist Church ""'Where are you going?' 'What is guiding you?' Jim Harnish has spent his life beckoning individuals and congregations to respond to these questions. While the current terrain may be fierce with the path more difficult to find, Finding Your Bearings reveals how Jesus, Scripture, and the witness of the faithful can continue to not only guide our way through a rapidly changing landscape but steady us for all that is yet to come."" --Donna Claycomb Sokol, Pastor, Mount Vernon Place United Church ""Finding Your Bearings showcases Jim Harnish at his best: insightful, creative, and deeply faithful. He is our traveling companion along the uncertainties of our day, showing us how Jesus rooted himself in the wisdom of the Scriptures during times of crisis. This book will help you anchor yourself in these timeless truths and find your way by the grace of God."" --Magrey R. deVega, Senior Pastor, Hyde Park United Methodist Church


James A. Harnish retired after 43 years of pastoral ministry in the Florida Conference of The United Methodist Church.
