We're joined by Jim Moe, author of The Inner Journey to God, a spiritual reflection inspired by his pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago with his sister.

We're joined by Ronald Fentiman, author of The Human Game: You Are the Mind, a personal exploration of thought, emotion, and identity. The book grew from a devastating period when both Fentiman's mother and wife were battling terminal cancer.
