James E. Gibson self-published his first book, True Christianity: It May Not Be What You Think, in 2014 (second edition 2015, third edition 2017). In 2016 he self-published his second book, Several True I Think Stories: Can Truth Be Stranger Than Fiction? (second edition 2017). In addition, he has written numerous articles for websites such as Google Blogger, Yahoo! Voices (and its predecessor Associated Content), Newsvine, and Helium. James graduated from the University of Kentucky with an MBA, as well as B.S. degrees in mining engineering and civil engineering. His undergraduate electives included several English courses and his graduate school coursework included some Communications courses. Since his childhood he has loved to read and write. As a bivocational freelance writer, he has worked a variety of second jobs to help keep the bills paid while fulfilling his dream of developing a writing career. James remains single and feels that may be God's will for him for his entire life. He is a former agnostic who became a Christian during his college years. A series of unusual events/coincidences and the author's inappropriate way of speaking about them led to a series of things that resulted in a few brief psychiatric hospitalizations for him and outpatient psychiatric treatment during the period of 1993 to 1996. But he experienced immeasurable blessings during that time and is blessed immeasurably now as well. That period gave him additional insights into Christianity. He would love for everyone to live happier, healthier, longer lives with no sin, pain, or suffering and then go on to live forever in heaven. He feels that as we come closer to practicing true Christianity, we come closer to reaching this ideal, too. See less
