He completed his memoirs days before his death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a beautiful story of a teacher, a spiritual director, and a congregational leader who deeply touched the lives of many people throughout the world. Jack was very human, suffered a deep trauma of his mother's death at an early age, the disappearance of his father, which deeply affected him and would take him over thirty years to address and seek the necessary help to become a whole person.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJack had quite extraordinary experiences of The Light throughout his whole life. He initially thought everyone had these experiences, but then realized they were special, and he didn't know what to do with them. Being led to Spiritual Direction was a graced moment in his life, and his life took off, and an extraordinary journey followed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJack wanted people to know who he was and how he was called to become who he was. It is not something we talk about too much in our lives. But the deeper Jack went into his own spiritual experiences, the more he realized this was available to all of us. He wanted to write his memoirs to help us all recognize that the invitation is there for each of us and that, when we have experiences we do not understand, we should seek direction rather than ignore them.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45914280558783,"sku":"ee6aab25-6b4a-43ab-a732-1dfab1ca0f9a","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/7efe43d697ebde8b17d496b329c38839.jpg?v=1785056477","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/embraced-by-the-light-jacks-story","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
