James B. Joseph

Dr. Joseph, Brother James, earned graduate degrees from Wake Forest University, Hood Theological Seminary, and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is an ordained pastor and a professor at Liberty University teaching on-line seminary classes.

Brother James has written two books regarding God's desired relationship with all people. His first book, Victory in Jesus: Being a Child of God (1997), has just come out in a revised 3rd ed.. His second book, Experiencing Jesus' Joy came out originally in 2011 and has been finalized in its first edition form this year (2013).

When Victory in Jesus originally came out, it brought good reviews from many Christian leaders of various denominations. A few of those reviews are posted below. In addition, he has posted a couple reviews from his most recent book.

Brother James' main passion is to see the Church Universal become more effective in making God known to all as Christ's followers stand firm against Satan's destructive schemes. As Christ's followers stand together in the midst of the spiritual battles encompassing all enlightened and empowered through Christ, they will be able to bring many to God to become part of His close-knit holy eternal family.

Dr. Joseph's books address a very real and serious problem in many of our contemporary churches: a watered down Gospel message that hinders true salvation with the result that only a few are truly experiencing the joy of following Christ and bringing many into His kingdom. His books emphasize the need for all of Christ's followers to have a proper relationship with God within the family and lordship of God, which results in a desire to see many come to Him. Love overcomes trials and tribulations as those who are part of God's family reveal the deceptions of Satan to those still living a self-centered life. This book sheds light on many areas of our contemporary life that need God's input, addressing critical issues to help spiritually wake-up as many as will listen.

Over the years, Brother James has seen many Christians who are not very excited about their walk with Christ nor are they bringing the lost to God. He realized that Satan has deceived many into thinking that they have been saved through some type of a pass to heaven instead of a genuine relationship with God. His books help illuminate the reality of God's desire for His close-knit holy family to walk in holiness with Him exposing the present and eternal destruction caused by those who are living apart from Him. God wants all to walk with Him in holiness growing in love for Him and others and experiencing great joy and inner peace even as everyone in some form or other is affected by the ongoing spiritual battles.

A couple early reviews from Experiencing Jesus' Joy:

"In his book, Experiencing Jesus' Joy, Brother James digs into Scripture to show us how to follow and live the life of Christ. The life that Christ experienced was a life of joy and gladness - in fulfilling the mission our eternal Father in heaven had given Him. Upon reading more, he shows us how we are all called to experience this same joy during our own journeys of faith. An excellent read!" KJ

"Dr. Joseph's book, Experiencing Jesus' Joy, lovingly lays bare the heart of a pastor, deeply passionate about leading the lost to Jesus Christ, while encouraging believers whether new or seasoned, toward a fruitful life through meaningful application of the Holy Scriptures. This book will help many develop a deeper spiritual walk," Dana
