Jim Reynolds
Jim writes primarily for the “streets” by making scripture come alive with intensity and straightforwardness which, at times, lands him in straights in some circles and being embraced in others. Jim earned a BS and MA from Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina, and a MDIV from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. A widower, he lives in Cincinnati, Ohio with family.
