Books by Jim

“This is a very, very helpful book for any Christian parent who is making plans to help prepare their son or daughter for life in college!All of the book's advice is simple and very biblical. I would recommend this to any who wish to learn from the experience of a Christian minister who has personally witnessed Christians both succeed and fail on a college campus.”

Available on Amazon

Letters from Downstream is currently unavailable. It will be re-released by LifeStone in the coming months. Check back for news in Spring 2025.

“I think that [the author’s] experience as a college minister uniquely places him in a position to (1) honestly assess the problems he sees in Christian homes & the church in America without being judgmental or territorial, and (2) to offer an honest solution to the problem of a lack of discipleship in Christians today.”

“ I read your book this fall at a time when I was considering things for our three daughters. Reading this book helped shape my thinking as we continue to try to guide them growing up.”
