His first book, The Crossover Experience, which explores the phenomenon of the near-death experience, was released in 2022 and has been an Amazon Best-Seller. In 2023, he released My Very Own Psychedelic Psychotherapy, chronicling his experience with psychedelics for psycho-spiritual healing and growth. And in 2024 he released RUMI for Kids / and the Young at Heart. This was created in part as a natural complement to his film series Poetry in Motion, an innovative collection of 21 short films that artfully combines a powerful poem with music and imagery, creating a captivating experience. Among his collaborators on this project are Coleman Barks and Robert Bly, and many of the films feature the profound poetry of Rumi.
In 2025, DJ released Portrait of a Radical / The Jesus Movement, which is based on the raw, uncut interviews from the award-winning documentary film of the same title and explores the radical and human nature of Jesus. He is currently working on Volume II of The Crossover Experience entitled Where the Afterlife Meets Quantum Physics / Proof of the Near-Death Experience? The book delves into the fascinating intersection of spirituality and science, uncovering how the phenomenon of near-death experiences aligns with the mysterious world of quantum physics.
