Jim (jim@allheneedsforheaven.com) and Judy have been married since 1964, and they have three children and six grandchildren.  Chet is youngest of the children.  They have lived in Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas.  Most of their time has been in Louisiana (19 years) and Texas (15 years).

Jim has been a minister all his life.  He has three graduate degrees, including the Doctor of Ministry degree from Abilene Christian University.  He is presently one of the ministers at the Legacy Church of Christ in North Richland Hills, Texas. 

Jim wrote the book, but the whole family had input.  Judy’s thoughts are reflected on almost every page.  Jennifer was the first proofreader.  Chet and Joni proofed and added thoughts to the book, with Chet writing the last chapter.  The entire family has been happy with the way the book has been received and with the way it has been an encouragement to others who struggle.
