CAMANO ISLAND, Wash., Nov. 19, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- One man's journey through life can be so rich that we could all learn from it. His highs can be ours to treasure, while his lows can be lessons that we take to heart. In fact, all lives have their lessons. And a life viewed with perspective offers a wealth of wisdom.
In "The Wisdom of Walter" (now available from 1stBooks Library), author Jim Glendenning imparts one man's story, where the twists and turns of his existence becomes his reader's reference in life.
Since his retirement in 1993, Glendenning has dedicated himself to furthering his knowledge of the human condition. Reading, traveling and living his own colorful life provided him enough material for "The Wisdom of Walter," which draws together the 'know-how' he has so passionately compiled. Glendenning succeeds in creating an entertaining story for all types of readers, whether they seek deeper thoughts or simply long to have fun.
Glendenning's personal goal is to make his readers consider and reflect on their own lives. He successfully accomplishes this through Walter -- a man who has experienced being rich and poor and happy, as well as heart-broken. In the end, Walter finds peace and contentment. Readers will certainly imagine themselves in Walter's shoes, finding similar circumstances in their own lives.
And although Walter's life is on the extraordinary side, like making millions in oil money, Walter himself is an ordinary man, with whom readers will identify. Powerful, poignant and thought-provoking, Walter's roller coaster life is a ride well worth taking.
Jim Glendenning's life compares in excitement to his endearing protagonist. After graduating from the University of Colorado, he worked as an oil geologist, then as a Navy fighter pilot and finally as an airline pilot. As his first novel, "The Wisdom of Walter" was such a joy to write that Glendenning is already at work on a second book. Jim Glendenning currently resides in Camano Island, Wash.
