Suffering a crisis of faith as a Catholic priest, Jeffrey Kendall pilgrimaged on El Camino de Santiago yearning for a word from God.
Throughout his one-thousand-mile spiritual adventure, Kendall wrestles with God, grappling with his call to the priesthood and his existence in the context of the abuses of power he experienced in the Catholic Church while also exploring his relationship with a heroin-addicted prostitute.
As he walks downtrail struggling with these dilemmas, readers go on a profound journey of their own.
A memoir that will resonate with anyone who has struggled in a relationship with God, Kendall’s story is a catharsis for the soul and the remarkable tale of one man’s quest for a new start in life.
Psalm 110 is ...
the only psalm in which the LORD God speaks first,
the most quoted psalm in the New Testament,
the only pericope which tells the story of salvation history from the Father’s begetting the Son, to Jesus’ Incarnation and ministry on earth, to Jesus’ Second Coming,
yet Psalm 110 is one of the least known psalms.
Jeffrey Kendall has spent more than 30 years praying, studying, and meditating on Psalm 110 and feels called to bring this psalm of theological majesty out of the shadows and into the light.
A book for people who love the Bible, Key of David & Psalm 110 takes readers on a journey of human and divine discovery which challenges them to think deeper about the mysteries of Jesus Christ, the Bible, and themselves.
I have written poetry in a strange cycle.
About every ten years my Muse appears, and poetry comes out. It has been a while since I have written real poetry and may not write any more poems.
It is hard to say.
To my good fortune, I finished a book of poetry before my Muse abandoned me.
It has been sitting on my computer for more than a decade, maybe two decades, waiting to be published.
At last, here it is.
1 / A Cycling Book (No Title Yet)
I love cycling and am half way through a crazy book, that parallels the three major tours in Europe.
It is half hysterical, half physical and half mystical.
2/ The Stone Scream
I have heard the silent scream well inside of my and may write about it.
3 / I May Yet Return
Based on a collection of 130 or so letters written by my great-, great-, grandfather who served in the Army of Northern Virginia, this would be a great book for me to write. I have studied the letters extensively and made hundreds of pages of notes. The most interesting study is the relationship between Ben Kendall and Bill Freeman, his body servant. No movie has ever treated the life of the body servants in any depth.
4/ The Transcendent Arrow
I am fascinated by the three transcendentals of being: Truth, Goodness and Beauty. I also love archery and might write about discussing the transcendentals of being through the flight of an arrow.
