It was Neale Donald Walsch who convinced me. He told       me it would be helpful to        people.”       >        > Jim Pons photo.jpg       >        > Jim Pons is a former bass guitarist and singer for several legendary 1960's       and 70's rock bands, including The Leaves, The Turtles, Frank Zappa & The       Mothers and Flo & Eddie.       >        > In 1973 Pons left the music industry to become the film and video director       for the New York Jets football club. He held this position until his       retirement in 2000. Pons and his family moved to Jacksonville, Florida in       2005, where he did game day video        for the Jacksonville Jaguars for three more years before finally leaving the       NFL. He now sings and plays upright bass in a bluegrass band called Lonesome       Ride.       >        > “If you’ve been taught to believe that fame and fortune are the keys to       happiness—and most of us have—Jim Pons’ remarkable story is for you. If       you’ve been taught that your questions about the meaning of life should be       left in the hands of        religious experts—and most of us have—Jim’s personal quest to know God       offers the gift of spiritual freedom. His transparency shines throughout and       cannot help but assist other seekers—covertly, even those who buy the book       for the football and        rock n’ roll. Having known his story for several years, it has been our       sincere desire that Jim share it with the world. Thankfully that time has       come. We invite you to open these pages, enjoy his story and come away the       better for sharing his        experience.” - Lee and Steven Hager, authors of The Gospel of Thomas: Where       Science Meets Spirituality       >        > In closing Jim has this to impart, “There is more to life than fame and       fortune. We haven’t learned all there is to know about God.”       >        > To purchase:       > https://www.amazon.com/Hard-Core-Love-Football-Kingdom/dp/1945       90484/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1490113285&sr=1-1&keywords=jim+pons       >        > For more information:       > www.jimpons.com       > www.facebook.com/wjpons       >        > Press inquiries: Glass Onyon PR, PH: 828-350-8158, glassonyonpr@gmail.com              I ordered a copy of this for my local library. Hopefully he'll talk about Bob       Harris(1), and his adorable ex-con, fellow junkie, bi-sexual, LSD taking, dark       arts practicing witch, guitarist singer/songwriter, OD victim, ex-wife, Judee       Sill.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
