When Faith Takes Flight will guide you to a gentle and safe landing in your spiritual journey. I've flown with Jim and I appreciate his passion for aviation, but even more important is his passion to help you spiritually as you fly through life toward eternity.

For over 30 years I have thought Jim Walters was one of the best preachers I know. After reading this book I can now say he is one of the best writers I know. This book is brilliant! It is comprehensive yet simple. It takes the metaphor of an airplane and uses it to help us understand our relationship with Christ. I know you will enjoy reading this as a believer and then find ways to share it with non believers.

Jim Walters stands in the pulpit of Bear Valley Church, takes the “spiritual stick” of people's lives and guides them through God's Word with as much reverence for Truth as for the laws of gravity. I commend this book and this gifted pastor to your pursuit of spiritual flight. He will instruct you to fly!

Jim Walters attacks his faith and his mission to reveal God's truths, to not only the people of Bear Valley Baptist Church, but to all who will listen and in particular his aviation colleagues and stick-buddies. His zest for life and flying has carried over from his fighter pilot days in South East Asia to mentoring the young new aviators in training with the On Wings of Eagles Foundation, a faith based non-profit that provides aviation scholarships to at-risk and under-privileged youth.

If you spend any time Jim Walters, you will discover he has a passion for flying! While serving in the US Air Force in Thailand, Jim came to faith in Jesus Christ, and today the Lord is his greatest passion! Jim could explain the mysteries of flight in such simple and practical ways. Now he has using that same talent to share with you in a simple and practical way the mysteries of faith which will change your life for goodãa change greater than the airplane made upon the world.

I first met Jim Walters in 1992. It was obvious that God's Word placed in an Air Force Chapel in Thailand had a dramatic effect on his life. That effective is evident in God's call in his life to proclaim God's love and His goodness through his preaching and his writings. "When Faith Takes Flight" contains the every day, common principles that any believer can clearly understand and easily apply in our often times tumultuous world. A most practical guide.
