Gary Friedman will discuss and sign copies of the third book in The Shepherd Chronicles, Crossroads: His Journey Becomes Our Calling, in which he continues the story of protagonist David Hynes.

David Hynes is torn between continuing on the path created for him by a mysterious messenger or supporting a grieving family and starting a life with his beloved, Peggy. After deciding to move forward on his journey, David strikes out once again to bring his message to those that have lost their way.

With his flock growing, David finds his way from national politics and battles with terrorists to rescuing an elderly man from a fate that does not belong to him. Along his path, he discovers the greater depth of his mission and a new mentor to guide his way. His mysterious messenger takes on a new form as David begins to define his future. Through it all, David proves that one man can make a difference not just for himself, but for every life he touches, while encouraging all of us to do the same.

In the conclusion to the Shepherd Chronicles trilogy, one man continues an inspirational quest to take the focus off himself and make a difference.

Gary Friedmann will also talk about his own inspirational quest as writer and communicator.

A lifelong Western New Yorker, Gary Friedman has a Bachelor’s degree in management/marketing and a Master’s degree in counselor/education, both from Canisius College in Buffalo. He began his newest, and fourth, career as an author with publication of the first book in the Shepherd Chronicles, The Promise. He has just published the third book in the series of fictions about making a difference and lifting up others. His three vastly different careers encompassing 17 years in retail management, nine year in education and the past 20 years working for the federal government, have allowed him to lift up a wide variety of people from all walks of life.
