Abstract:
The author presents a fascinating blend of life experiences, exceptional insights and strong personal values in a captivating, story-filled memoir. His sensitivity, humor and style assure enthusiastic readership. Drawing on his background in the military, social work, academia, corporate life and consulting and reflecting on each of those spheres in the light of his faith and family relationships, Joe Kiernan convinces any doubters that his claim to have lived all of his eighty-plus years as a guest is not delusional. His modest preference for his gravestone inscription: “Neither The Brightest Nor the Best But Forever The Guest.”
