Throughout his lifetime, Dennis Merritt Jones has been on a quest to inspire and lift
people to a higher expression of life. His personal vision is to guide people to their
purpose, knowing that when a person fully awakens to who they are and why they
are on the planet, they begin to naturally share their gift with humankind and, in the
process, create an enriching life for themselves and the world around them.
Dennis is the author of The Art of Being ~ 101 Ways to Practice Purpose in Your Life,
released by Tarcher/Penguin Publishing. The Art of Being was awarded the Nautilus
Gold Award designed to highlight books that offer new ideas and options for a better
world for everyone. His book was also a Silver Finalist in the Multiple Sclerosis
Society Books for a Better Life Awards.
Dennis believes we each have the capacity and, ultimately, the responsibility to
contribute something positive to this world, leaving it a better place than it was when we arrived. His
teachings promote a contemporary, life-affirming, spiritually logical and positive outlook on life, which are
reflected in his writings.
Dennis is a universal speaker who is equally comfortable speaking to an audience seeking spiritual
inspiration or to those seeking a purely secular motivational message. He uses his understanding of
universal principles to draw upon wisdom from both eastern and western philosophies. Dennis believes
that there is a new consciousness of unity, cooperation and reverence rising in humankind where the
value of all life is considered sacred. He believes this consciousness of unity, cooperation and reverence
for life and the planet will be one of the most significant influences upon society as we approach the
challenges of 21st century living.
Dennis was the founder and spiritual director of the International Center for Spiritual Living in Simi Valley,
CA. Dennis retired from the pulpit in 2008 to take is message to the world by means of his books, sacred
journeys travel, spiritual mentoring, keynote speaking and seminars.
