I am often sent questions about a number of different topics related to religion, God, spirituality, life, philosophy, deconstruction and personal growth. I recently was asked a question about why Atheists won't "leave the religious alone." What follows is my response? "Jim, why won't atheists just leave the religious alone?"*It’s difficult to know the context of this question, and what you specif Read more of this blog post »

“Being Jesus means that we go through life embracing it all fully and feeling it all deeply. That we don’t hide and try to protect ourselves. That we live. That we show up. That we laugh. That we cry. That we hurt. That we heal. That we care. That we love. And then, that we wake up the next morning and sign up for it all over again.”
Jim Palmer, Being Jesus in Nashville: Finding the Courage to Live Your Life

“One of the most freeing discoveries these past few years in my relationship with God is discovering that God is not a belief system or a fixed set of theological propositions.”
Jim Palmer, Wide Open Spaces: Beyond Paint-by-Number Christianity

“Perhaps everyone finds him or herself a time or two sifting through the rubble and ruins of a devastated life, wondering whether or not it's worth rebuilding or even salvageable.”
Jim Palmer, Divine Nobodies: Shedding Religion to Find God

Janet Evanovich

Thanks, Melissa :)


Sticky Note Book Recs Melissa I just heard back from Goodreads about how to quote you from the Quotes page. They said you have to type your name with 3 spaces in between the first and last name to access your books, as that is how the database differentiates between you and the other Jim Palmer. I just tried it, and it worked! Your books show up in the drop-down menu when I type your name in that way. Yay!
