An apologist and writer, as well as a father of four, Jim lives in Dallas, Texas with his wife, Cristi, two golden retrievers, and two formerly-feral cats. He read Philosophy and English as an undergrad at SMU and obtained a graduate degree in Apologetics from Houston Baptist University. A frequent blogger, Jim travels the United States giving lectures on all things related to C.S. Lewis. For the past few years he has led a popular reading and discussion group called "The Inklings." In his spare time, he likes to fly fish and drink Oregon Pinot noir (though not at the same time).
