Advanced Reviews for Bounce: Living the Resilient Life by Robert Wicks

"Bounce entreats us to “Have a Life!”…and live it more fully.  Wicks’ helps us to develop hardiness, learn to debrief ourselves after a hard day, and create a personal self-care program we will actually follow.  Insightful, practical, and often humorous, Bounce is the right tonic for the spirit that we need in today’s stressful world."

Helen Prejean
Author of Dead Man Walking

“Bounce succeeds where other books on personal change fail because such books offer little more than information and exhortation.  But reading Bounce is like having ongoing conversations with a trustworthy and savvy mentor who not only fosters and personalizes the change process, but leads us past our fears and resistances about changing.  Robert Wicks is a master at helping others increase their mindfulness and resilience.  He has written the indispensable book, full of wisdom and wit, for those wanting to live life more fully.”

Dr. Wicks' other recent book release is entitled "Prayerfulness: Awakening to the Fullness of Life".  This book seeks to take the Eastern theme of mindfulness and make it available to a wider Christian audience.  For Sorin Books/Ave Maria Press, it is the first book of theirs in their history ever chosen by Barnes and Noble to be featured on the front table in 80 key stores.  This will happen in September although it is currently in many of their stores now.  It will also be in certain Borders stores.

'Robert J. Wicks is the kind of wise elder that you need when times are tough and you are looking for hope.  He has traveled the hard road and has gathered gems of insight and wisdom along the way.  Robert is both a trustworthy pastor and a fascinating storyteller, and you are lively to leave his hut at the edge of the village with renewed energy and creativity, and with greater freedom to love."

Robert Jonas
Editor of The Essential Henri Nouwen

"In the face of anguish and distraction, so common in our society, Wicks presents a straightforward guide to deepening faith through compassion and love.  A triumph of the human spirit!"
