Jim Willis

After graduating from the Eastman School of Music , Jim Willis  became a high school band and orchestra teacher during the week, a symphony trombonist on the weekends, a jazz musician at night and a choral conductor on Sunday mornings.  The author of nine books on religion and spirituality, he has been an ordained minister for over forty years while working part-time as a carpenter, the host of his own drive-time radio show, an arts council director and adjunct college professor in the fields of World Religions and Instrumental Music.  His teaching career produced both the comprehensive one-volume encyclopedia of religion,  The Religion Book,  and Armageddon Now: The End of the World A to Z,  written with his wife, Barbara.  Both were published by Visible Ink Press.  Concern for spiritual growth in contemporary society prompted his book  Faith, Trust & Belief: A Trilogy of the Spirit , while his love for long-distance bicycling led him to make several cross-country bike trips and inspired his first book,  Journey Home: The Inner Life of a Long Distance  Bicycle Rider  and its sequel,  Snapshots and Visions: A View from the Now .  Savannah: A Bicycle Journey Through Time and Space  continued in that tradition.  His current residence in the woods of South Carolina inspired his books,  The Dragon Awakes: Rediscovering Earth Energy in the Age O f Science, Ancient Gods: Lost Histories, Hidden Truths and the Conspiracy of Silence,   Supernatural Gods: Spiritual Mysteries, Psychic Experiences, and Scientific Truths. And his latest: Lost Civilizations: The Secret Histories and Suppressed Technologies of the Ancients.
