Thomas Flowers Returns To BookSmart As An Author!
In 2004, Thomas Flowers was working behind the counter at Morgan Hill’s BookSmart. Next Thursday he will be working there again, but on the other side of the counter, as a published author!
His first book, Walking Humbly: Scripture Mediations In Verse was just published by Paulist Press, which has been publishing Catholic works for more than 142 years. Thomas will be reading, discussing and signing Walking Humbly at BookSmart (80 E. 2nd St.) starting at 6:30 on December 11th.
The book serves as a companion to prayer for people seeking to draw closer to the humanity and divinity of Jesus, through poetic reflections on familiar scripture passage. While I’m neither Christian nor Catholic I did run a non-profit organization devoted to poets and poetry for a couple of years. The way that Flowers blends spiritual education with verse is absolutely wonderful. I’ve always been a fan of making “deep thought” more accessible to people who do not consider themselves intellectuals and that’s exactly what Walking Humbly does.
