Amid all the division, chaos, and loss of hope we are currently experiencing, both in America and around the globe, a new world is emerging, beyond anything we have previously known.

Pointing the way to a deep transformation in the way we view ourselves, of our own boundless potential and our relation to each other and the world around us, and to our relationship to the universe itself.

Who are we?  Where are we headed?

First Book:  Traveling to a New America:  
 A compilation of selected pieces from my prior ten books, as well as blogs I have written over the last few years; of poems; articles about great, though sometimes not so well known, heroes and heroines of our American past; and comments and reflections about America from a few of the many ordinary men and women I met and interviewed on the streets in different towns and cities while "Traveling to a New America".

Second Book:  A New Myth for America
From the paperback cover:
"Every great civilization has had its own myth, a cosmic story of how we fit into the universe, a divine story of who we are and where we came from.
"Now all the old myths have crumbled to dust.
"What we crave is a new consciousness, a new time, new stories, new heroes and heroines - a story that encompasses the heavens and suns and stars and galaxies and black holes and universes beyond number, yet is bolted down to rocks and rivers and flowers and thunder and rain, finding its tale reverberating through the bones and marrow and hearts of the blacksmith, the nanny, the insurance salesman, the ice cream vendor, teacher, banker, musician…
"It takes place here and now.
"The real, true dream of America."

"I do believe a book like 'A New Myth for America' can not only spark an important dialogue in the world, but help us to look at the future with more hope." —Cyrus Webb, "Conversations Book Club".  

Third Book:  Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective
In a wide-ranging, profoundly liberating tapestry, this book weaves together Buddhist history and ideas, science, psychology, near-death experience research, and personal experiences, to offer unique insights into the subject of life and death.

"Having read all or parts of nearly a thousand books dealing with spiritual matters, I cannot recall another that so simply and effectively blends the fundamentals of religion and science." - Michael E. Tymn, Journal of Religion and Psychical Research.  

"A must-read!  I am serious when I say that reading James Hilgendorf's 'Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective' was a life-changing experience.  It has changed the way I will live the rest of my life".  ——Lisbeth Gant-Britton, author of "African American History, and former UCLA adjunct professor in African-American Studies.  

Fourth Book:  Time's Turning
 A book of prose and poems.   

"Time runs down the
Face of the clock,
Blurring the actual
Moment where we
Play our part,
Unhampered by seconds
Or minutes or hours,
Poised upon the
Turning point of forever.
It is here that we become
All that we can dream
Or be."
