Allen Nohre has lived his life examining every connection and every moment. His background in psychology and theology has encouraged him to never stop questioning the events of his life and what they have to teach him.
He brought that inquisitive spirit to a series of columns for the City Sun Times. Now, for the first time, his columns have been collected into a single volume. A Soul from Minnesota includes recollections from Nohre's Minnesota childhood as well as reflections on his current life in Arizona. Everything from painful embarrassments to natural wonders serves as inspiration for Nohre's exploration of his life, soul, and spirit. As he writes in these essays, the special moments-like receiving his first bicycle or encountering a coyote-have made him the man he is. However, it's the negative experiences-like missing the winning shot in an important basketball game-that have taught him the most important lessons about life.
Nohre hopes readers will feel moved to introspection after reading his essays. By remembering both your trials and triumphs, you can gain a better understanding of who you are as a person and the path you want to take forward.
