I am retired from public service and have been a friend of Jim for more than 20 years. During those years we have shared in Bible study, small groups, family gatherings and shared in prayer and accountability groups. What a great subject Jim took on with his most recent book, Breaking Sin’s Grasp, Your Temptation Doesn’t Define You. We are currently living in a world full of challenges and darkness. If you are a person of faith, then you know Jesus was and always will be the only one without sin. No one is perfect and no one is free of mistakes. This book addresses a number of areas in life which leads us to dark or isolated places in life, and offers ways for us to overcome the darkness, mend relationships, and help us grow in relationships, especially in relationship with God. Wherever you currently see yourself, faith-based or not, this read has something for you. A book filled with hope and help, this book would be perfect for a Bible study, a group environment surrounding, a retreat and or counseling environment. As a son, brother, husband, father and friend I was encouraged through this book, and found ways I can provide support and encouragement for others struggling or looking for more in their lives. This book will encourage you to find the light in darkness, with thoughtful and manageable ways to get there.
