Although Jim loves to write page-turning novels, in recent years God has led him in a different direction.

Read on to learn a little about Terry Caffey and about one of Jim’s new book projects.

He crawled nearly 400 yards to a neighbor’s home, even though he had been shot at least five times at close range. In the hospital later, he learned that his daughter had been implicated in the murders. Terry became suicidal, feeling as if he’d lost all reason to live. He gave up on life.
