    Psychology and Thinking Outside The Box With Interfaith Minister Jerry Zehr

    Jerry Zehr was not a guest I would normally interview. Why did I? To overcome my own reservations and challenge my perspectives and views.


    What I learned was Jerry's insight and his experience as a interfaith minister allows him unique insights and extraordinary empathy. I put my doubts to one side and followed my curiousity and once again the rewards speak for themselves.


    You can get in touch with Jerry at the following links and BTW his new book The Peacemaker's path is out as well.
