The Author

Jack C. Hermes, 89, of North Street, Michigan, is a lifelong biblical scholar. He studied for the ministry as a young man at a Lutheran ministerial prep college in Fort Wayne, Indiana, but decided he would meet more people in need of hearing the Good News as a Christian businessman in the secular world than he would as a pastor. He has continued to study Scripture through the years, delving deeply into its meaning and amassing a personal library of theological commentary. He leads in-home Bible studies and is a leader at his church, Holy Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church in Port Huron, Michigan.

He and his wife, Helen, have traveled the world, including visiting Europe, Italy, Eastern Europe, Malta, and China. This is Jack’s second book. He wrote his first, “A Life Guided and Blessed by God,” as a memoir for his five children, sixteen grandchildren, and many, many great-grandchildren.
