I’ll continue to update the schedule here. However, most of my travel in November is for private events or book publicity, so it’s not listed. (For example, I'm scheduled to travel to Phoenix for an interview with a Canadian TV station...which kinda makes me wonder if my publicity team at Thomas Nelson is just messsing with me.)

If you're interested in booking me  for your conference, church, or college next spring, contact Jim Chaffee
