A book of inspiration

This I Have Learned is an honest journal of describing obstacles overcome by this man of God as he aspired to the ministry. What he learned is outlined in these pages and will bnefit all who seek the path to a Christian life and a career in teaching other believers. I have been blessed in knowing this man for many years. In additon to being a fine pastor I have found him to be one of America's great advocates for liberty. You need this book, read it and benefit from what Jim learned the hard way on his upward path.

Digestable profoundness

I found this book to be a very enjoyable read. It is lighthearted in places; it is serious in places; and it just might prompt you to rethink some of the preconceived ideas that we all carry around.

Coffe with Ecclesiastes, 2005

No pain, no gain... Through vibrant, often poignant, often bare bones meticulous, but always deeply stirring vignettes, this gentleman preacher distills for us readers lessons given him by the unction of the Holy Spirit and a mind that dug deeply into the writings of the theological and secular giants of history for answers. These are candid lessons of a man's journey starting from boyhood, traveling into questioning reckless youth, and turning from that to an adulthood in Christ and the ministry. The lessons are strong and sound, but only fully realized years and years after they were taught. That's life for you, though. Many of us stroll through life tragically unaware of the vast opportunities we are given to learn the Truth offered to us by a beckoning Christ. Maybe we even deliberately ignore these opportunities, because it takes us out of our corporate, family or egoistic comfort zones. Can we overcome our own raw emotions when our spoon-fed views of the world are challenged? We should all snap up this book and pass it on to others as a chance for them to experience vicariously the raw, real world of a man on an analytical, yet Spirit-led path and crane our ears toward the whisper of Truth over the din of the day. This I Have Learned deserves a gentle read with an eye trained on the horizon. Sturdy cover. Excellent references and citations. Humorous and engaging. Advanced theological classes would greatly benefit from this book as reading material for study and discussion.
