He grew up in a Christian family and married a Christian woman. They reared their three children in the United Methodist Church. As a scientist, Dr. James served NASA for 25 years as the agency’s Chief Toxicologist, ensuring that spacecraft atmospheres were safe for astronauts to breathe. His last study before retiring involved the toxicity of authentic moon dust. He was a ‘good Christian’ for many decades of his life. He participated in mission trips in Texas with youth and in international mission trips to Ecuador, Mexico, and Haiti. He and his wife enjoyed life with three children who participated in many mission trips. His nominal Christian faith was destroyed when his oldest son died suddenly in his college town. If God is good, how could God allow the loss of a bright young man to death? For a few weeks his heart boiled as an atheist. Then he realized that God could not have saved his son from the medical errors that killed him. God was there shining through those who drove many miles to be with his family as his son was dying. It was they who had brought God’s love. A seminal experience with Holy Spirit a few months later sealed his nature as a mystic. Dr. James offers a truly unique and powerful perspective on Christianity because of his dual identity as a scientist and Christian mystic. When he is not leading bible studies or serving people in poverty, he enjoys fishing, cycling, and swimming. He also works to improve the safety of the American healthcare system, which harms too many people and fails to serve everyone. Holy Spirit has called him to this daunting task.view less
