In Jr. College, he won second prize in a contest with the Biblical short story, Beggarman-Thief.
A graduate of Clearwater Christian College, and Biblical School of Theology, James was ordained in 1974, and served as assistant or associate pastor or Bible teacher in several churches. He also served in a foreign student ministry, which is where
he met his wife, Berenice from Venezuela. It was there also that he began working on the Biblical novel Of Such Is The Kingdom, based on his prize winning short story, Beggarman-Thief and dealing with some unique seekers who might have lived in the time of Jesus.
In 1984, James and his wife spent a year and a half in Venezuela, where, while

"Impossible Journey: A Tale of Times and Truth" by James M. Becher is a fast and easy read. I think any Sci-fi lover would like this novel. It is a clean read, it does have the word hell used as a swear word twice and the characters drink alcoholic but I still recommend this book. I think this story would be a great family movie. I think if a family with older and more mature younger readers likes to reads together, this book would be a great choice. Then after reading, there could be a discussion of why Jesus came and why He needed to die and why He is the only answer to sin. I don't usually like Sci-fi but I have watched the television show "Quantum Leap" and I liked some of the episodes and this book reminded of that show. Of course, "Impossible Journey: A Tale of Times and Truth" by James M. Becher is based on the theme of stopping sin. If you want to see what different historical time periods the three time travelers visit, look at the cover of the book.
I recommend this book to all readers and even readers who don't sci-fi. Even through one of the categories listed is Sci-fi, in my opinion this book isn't sci-fi at, I think it is more fantasy.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and these opinions are my own.
