Summary
God is good, all the time.
Jim Wilson was born in 1927 and raised in a Depression-era farming family. At the age of 16, at the height of World War II, he became the primary breadwinner for his parents and four younger siblings. At age 17, eager to fight for his country, he enlisted in the Navy. Germany surrendered while he was in the recruiting office, and the war was over by the time he entered boot camp. But God had a plan for Jim Wilson in the US Navy...
Through adventures of sickness, poverty, hard work, and war, this is the story of God’s provision and protection in the life of one Nebraska farm boy turned ardent evangelist.
Critic reviews
“For 60 years, Jim helped me apply my Christian faith to life - not through eloquence, power, or wealth but through a demonstrated commitment pointing the way to life’s Source. This is the story of an American life well lived.” (John Knubel, Lt. Cdr. USN Retired, Naval Academy Class of ’62)
"My grandfather has been telling fantastic stories for as long as I can remember, and living them for far longer than that. His influence is a huge contributor to my own career as a story teller, and I’m incredibly grateful - for myself and my kids - that he found the energy to compile his life story in book form. Just one caution: Don’t go thinking he’s a reliable narrator. He isn’t. He undersells himself constantly, but only because his eyes are so firmly locked on the true author, the one who wrote every one of these Jim Wilson stories while the concrete for time’s foundation was still wet and churning in the trucks." (N.D. Wilson, author, 100 Cupboards series)
