Honestly, all I want my books to do is to draw people closer to Christ through his Church. To answer your question, yes, I do sometimes give retreats. In fact I have one based on Spiritual Blueprint. The way that would work is that a church or diocese would hire me to come in (if it's not in Florida where I live, I would have to fly in) and do the retreat. The local church or diocese does all the publicity and registrations, and I come in a lead the retreat. I've done retreats for lay people and for clergy. If you think your church might be interested in something like that, here's my direct email to contact me: jim@papandrea.net

Peace to you, in this time of loss and mourning, I pray you will feel the comforting presence of the Holy Spirit every day. - JP(less)

“Learn from the puppies: Don't clutter where you live.”
James L. Papandrea, Spiritual Blueprint: How We Live, Work, Love, Play, and Pray

“Be quick to say, "Sorry," be quick to forgive, and you'll always have friends, as long as you live.”
James L. Papandrea, The Space Boys Meet the Moon Bully!

“To realize our potential, we have to be willing to change and grow. In order to do this, we have to recognize our unchangeable identity as children of God, made in the image of God, so that we will feel free to change some behaviors and mature in character without feeling like we have to become someone else. Then we can allow our relationship with God to help us mature into the likeness of Christ. So change is not loss; it’s gain.”
James L. Papandrea, Spiritual Blueprint
