Both had lost their spouses after long marriages, forty-one and thirty years respectively, and each had wondered what the Lord had in store for their remaining years. Their unique story is a powerful testimony of God’s love and guidance. As their relationship grew, they shared their story of hope by way of their ministry to other widows and widowers, “never alone.” Their expanded story is now in book form, Season of Hope: Her Story, His Story, Their Story.
James spent forty years in all phases of computer technology, configuration management, and programming and authored Quick Start User’s Guide for the Bible, being published posthumously with their book Season of Hope: Her Story, His Story, Their Story.
Beverly Key Ball, BA, MEd, EdS, a former Teacher of the Year and in the first class of Georgia’s InTech Certification Program, has published articles and curriculum material for Standard Publishing Company and Clayton County Schools, Georgia.

Beverly now lives in Lake Spivey, Georgia.view less
