Showing results by narrator "Jim Gilliland" in All Categories

This collection shows a vibrant young writer with a wide-ranging imagination, ferocious creative energy, devastating wit, and an eye for the wonderful and terrifying and tragic. Among the gems are "All the Sounds of Fear", "The Sky Is Burning", "The Very Last Day of a Good Woman", and "In Lonely Lands". Though they stand tall on their own merits, they also point the way to the sublime stories that followed soon after and continue to come even now, more than 50 years later.

With a text solidifying their commitment, brothers Stephen and Jim Gilliland embarked upon a journey of crazy workout challenges that increased in intensity as the year progressed: 10,000 push-ups each in March became 30,000 push-ups each by December. At the time, they were each searching for something more—more from their relationship as brothers and more from their middle-aged bodies. And as each month passed, they discovered the unexpected gift of what it means to live more fully as connected brothers, fathers, husbands, and successful leaders.
