Author Bruce McEver to discuss new book Sept. 17
SALISBURY — Salisbury resident Bruce McEver, founder of Berkshire Global Advisors, author and poet, recently released his new book, Many Paths, “a recounting of a life well-lived,” according to a statement.
Readers will learn that the author’s life has had its share of outsized successes and deep valleys. For the most part there have been great friends and love and encouragement; a great mother; and a complicated relationship with a high achieving father.
According to brucemcever.com, “Many Paths is a story of a successful businessman, Bruce McEver, the founder of Berkshire Capital and a global pioneer of investment banking, who is devastated by the sudden and unexpected death of his wife of thirty years, a beautiful and talented opera singer who shared that life with him and gave it meaning. The day following her death, Christmas morning, in a barn yard on the farm where he and his wife lived together, Bruce experiences a hierophany—a physical manifestation of the holy and sacred. Unbelieving its veracity, the revealing of his vision to his minister sets Bruce off on a journey spanning the world, Harvard Divinity School, Joseph Campbell lectures, summer poetry workshops, professorships, new loves and loves lost, health crises and new business. Many Paths is heartfelt, honest, unflinching, and charged on every page with humor and grace. It takes an under represented view of traditional autobiography, charting a full and unique life that weaves entrepreneurial, spiritual, intellectual, philanthropic and artistic paths together. In this way, Many Paths follows in the tradition of Augustine’s
Confessions, J.R. Moehringer’s The Tender Bar, and Jack Welch’s Jack: Straight from the Gut.”
Proceeds will be donated to The Foundation for Religious Literary.
Among other media appearances, McEver has been a guest on James Miller’s Lifeology and Justin Foster’s The Third Way.
McEver is hosting a book release event at Scoville Memorial Library in Salisbury, at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 16. For information on the event, go to scovillelibrary.org.
