Publisher's Description
What if there was a place where everything wrong in your life could be fixed? Corporate trainer Jake Palmer coaches people to see deeper into themselves--yet he barely knows himself anymore. Recently divorced and weary of the business life, Jake reluctantly agrees to a lake-house vacation with friends, hoping to escape for ten days. When he arrives, Jake hears the legend of Willow Lake--about a lost corridor that leads to a place where one's deepest longings will be fulfilled. Jake scoffs at the idea, but can't shake a sliver of hope that the corridor is real. And when he meets a man who mutters cryptic speculations about the corridor, Jake is determined to find the path, find himself, and fix his crumbling life. But "fixing things" is rarely that simple, and Jake's journey to healing will become more treacherous with each step he takes.

“Richly imaginative and deeply moving, James L. Rubart's story of forgiveness and freedom reaches past the page and into the soul.”
“James Rubart has been one of my favorite authors for some time now. I love the way he writes. Reading The Long Journey to Jake Palmer was a wonderful experience (and I use the word experience on purpose). Rubart’s books affect me on many levels. Imagine Nicholas Sparks, C. S. Lewis, and Mitch Albom collaborating on a novel. The Long Journey of Jake Palmer is something very close to that. Highly recommended.”
“Rubart delivers a creative, ingenious novel about love and discovery. The Long Journey to Jake Palmer will have you thinking ‘How do we really see ourselves?’ long after the end.”
“If you think fiction can’t change your life and challenge you to be a better person, you need to read The Five Times I Met Myself.”
“A powerfully redemptive story with twists and turns that had me glued to every page. With a compelling message for anyone who longs to relive their past, The Five Times I Met Myself is another James L. Rubart masterpiece.”
“Powerful storytelling. Rubart writes with a depth of understanding about a realm most of us never investigate, let alone delve into. A deep and mystical journey that will leave you thinking long after you finish the book.”
“Tight, boiled-down writing and an intriguing premise that will make you reconsider what you think you know about the spiritual realm.”
“Don’t read this unless you’re ready to see with new eyes. Through evocative prose and masterful storytelling, Rubart transports you to the spiritual realm—a realm of vision, mystery, healing, and power. A deep and thoughtful—and jet-propelled—spiritual journey of a book.”
