    Our thinking, however, is often limited. If we ponder this question only within the context of one physical lifetime, we cannot reach the answer. In order to know why we are born, we need to know what it was like before birth—and after death, and further yet, even before we assumed individuality. You are not your body. You are the soul currently living in the body. As souls, we are all interconnected and share information about what happened in our past lives, how we felt about the experiences, and what can happen in the future. Such shared information is called the Akashic Records. Why We Are Born, written by renowned Akashic Record Reader Akemi G in her signature straightforward style and with clear words, is a gift of light that dispels many spiritual myths such as “Life is a school.” Whether you consider yourself spiritual or not, you will find in this book fresh insights that will help you remember how marvelous life really is despite its challenges.

    In his next book, Jim takes the reader along into the wide open spaces of exploring and experiencing God beyond religion. Jim writes, "It is no secret that God can be lost beneath the waving banner of religion. Divine Nobodies is my story of how this happened to me. Sometimes you have to disentangle God from religion, even Christ from Christianity, to find the truth. With the help of some unsuspecting nobodies, I uncovered a new starting line with God. As I've put one foot in front of another, I've experienced God in ways that are deeply transforming."Each chapter revolves around a central question related to knowing God on fresh terms: Is God a belief system? Is the Bible a landing strip or launching pad? Can what we're feeling inside be God? Are we too religiously minded to be any earthly good?Brian McLaren wrote, "I am tempted to say that Jim Palmer could well be the next Don Miller, but what they have in common, along with an honest spirituality and extraordinary skill as storytellers, is a unique voice."The Library Reviews said of him, "Jim Palmer's casual, yet compelling writing style cuts through the religious rhetoric and gets to the real issues…readers will love this author! His sense of humor is alternately mixed with shocking sentences and poignant moments. Laced throughout is a refreshing honesty that ties his ideas together with a ribbon of reality…each turn of the page strips away a little more of the contrived mystery of Christianity until the simplicity and sincerity of it stands in realistic splendor."More and more people seek a deeper spirituality beyond status-quo religion. Others are left empty and weary from a shallow and narrow pop-Christianity. Palmer says that God's kingdom of love, peace, and freedom can be a present reality in any person's life. He proclaims that God is indeed in the process of birthing something deep and wide among unlikely people in unconventional ways, which is changing the world...one "nobody" at a time.
