"My experience reading "Come & See" is different than anything else I've been reading... It causes me to weep. I'm forgiven. I can forgive. Whoa! So heavy & so sweet!!!! The world is so full of toxic noise. The words in this book caused me to spend time alone & thinking about what it is that I truly want in my life. Peace be still! I'm encouraged! My prayer is that you will feel encouraged too." --Wynonna Judd
If you're like many women, your pursuit of "balance" in life has been disappointing at best. You may have digested self-help books and podcasts by the dozens. You may have tried prayer or meditation. Yet trying to keep your feelings of weariness, guilt, and anxiety at bay is like trying to hold a beach ball under water. No matter what you do or don't do, your restlessness keeps bobbing to the surface. It shows up in your interactions with your family, your views of the future, your weekend choices with friends.
Come and See offers you an antidote to the emotional vertigo you feel. This is not a self-help book-in fact, it's the opposite. This is an invitation to consider a solution that demands no achievements, requires no striving, and has nothing to do with performance or perfection. It is an invitation to wholeness, balance, and peace. All you have to lose is the pain you are tired of carrying. Are you ready? Come and see.
Interview with James C. Vogelzang
Introduce yourself and tell me about what it is that you do.
Over the last thirty years,
James C. Vogelzang has spent
countless hours speaking, teaching,
and listening to women in prison
and after they come home. He is
founder and president of Doing HIS
Time, a nonprofit organization that offers “hands-on
grace” to men and women in prison and upon their
release. This hands-on grace includes providing work
clothes, hygiene items, bus tokens, work shoes and
boots, and transportation to and from prison when
needed. But most importantly, Doing HIS Time offers
acceptance and hope to thousands of ex-offenders and
their families. Jim’s book, Doing HIS Time: Meditations
and Prayers for Men and Women in Prison has over six
hundred thousand copies in print in fifty countries
and has been translated into seventeen languages.
Jim and his wife, Mary Beth, live in Santa Barbara,
California, and New York City, New York.
Tell me more about your journey and an author, including the writing processes?
The greatest influence of my background and experience that influenced this book is my involvement with women in prison and with female ex-offenders, upon their release. Having a front row seat to the abuse, addiction, exploitation, and plight of women in prison opened my eyes to the transforming power of love, grace, and forgiveness. That awareness informed my thinking a desire to write a book for women proposing a solution that encompasses those three virtues.
Tell me about your Book
Come and See states that a surprising solution exists for women, who due to the chaos and mayhem of life, are experiencing emotional vertigo. A cure that is nurturing and challenging, while at the same time, reinforcing women’s value, worth, and significance.
Key point: That the healing power of Grace and Forgiveness exist and are available.
Key words that describe the book:
Edgy, direct, candid, authentic, humorous (at times), safe, non-judgmental, non-threatening, entertaining and a good read.
Any message for our readers
This book offers you a solution to the emotional vertigo you are feeling but cannot identify. Come and See proposes a cure that is candid, somewhat uncomfortable and quite possible scary. It is NOT a self-help book, rather a proposition for you to think about an alternative solution to the imbalance that torments.
