Jim Meyer
“We hope to bring glory to God and also help and comfort to those experiencing difficulties in life. We want them to trust God even during hard times.”
About Jim
Jim Meyer was born and raised in Northeast Wisconsin, the only child of Ralph and Lorraine Meyer. Meyer has always loved to touch lives through the written word. In 2015, he published the first book in the God Knew series, Revelations of God’s Grace in Unexpected Ways. His devotions have also been featured in Portals of Prayer. A banker by trade and a child of God with his Shepherd’s heart, Meyer is in the world, but not of it. His writing is real, authentic, and transparent. In 2018, he married the love of his life, Linda – the long-awaited answer to many prayers. They reside in Shawano and enjoy spending time with family and friends.
About Linda
Linda Meyer was born and raised in Oak Creek, Wisconsin and is one of 7 children in her family. Linda has a strong Christian faith, loves God and wants to serve Him by using her gifts of writing to share the hope of Christ to those needing encouragement. She was very involved in the music and women’s ministries at her home church she attended for 32 years. Linda also volunteered with the Online Bible Studies arm of Proverbs 31 Ministries for several years. After she met and married Jim, she moved from her hometown “up north” to the quaint little town of Shawano, Wisconsin. She and Jim love to cook and enjoy opening their home to friends and family for fun and fellowship and a fire on their patio. Just two normal people who want to share the love of Jesus and provide hope to a hurting world.

Judges’ Commentaries on God Knew - Revelations of God’s Grace in Unexpected Ways:
“GOD KNEW: REVELATIONS OF GOD'S GRACE IN UNEXPECTED WAYS by James W. Meyer is a heartfelt, sincere, amazing book that is sure to help and comfort readers everywhere. The reader is blessed to learn about Meyer's family through his eyes, which are filled with love. This is truly the type of family few are blessed to meet, and it's lovely to get to know them through this book. While it's a sharing of the author's experience, GOD KNEW is more than that. This author allows the reader to get to know him and is then trusted to share the Gospel.
The cover is lovely. It looks like a painting of a landscape. The back cover copy is excellent and tells the reader what to expect.... The photo is wonderful, as is the bio. Inside, more photos add interest.
The reader is inspired by the author's wisdom and encouragement. How true it is that the Lord has a plan for all of our lives. This wisdom, along with other insights, will console and comfort every reader.
All in all, an excellent testimony both in story and in sharing the Salvation Message. To God be the Glory!”

“GOD KNEW: REVELATIONS OF GOD'S GRACE IN UNEXPECTED WAYS by James W. Meyer is an excellent book for those who are seeking comfort and peace from the crosses we bear in life. Those approaching from a Christian background will find great comfort in how God does have a plan for each and every life. We all wish that no one ever had crosses to bear, but to think life will never contain strife isn't realistic no matter what your faith. I found the teachings here to be comforting and solid. This book will help prepare all readers for the inevitable hurts of life. I also hope people without a robust spiritual life will find this book, read it, and see that life does have hope and purpose, and that they are loved.
The book cover is interesting. I like that the mention of the author of the foreword is on the cover. The back cover copy is excellent, as are the author bio and photo. Inside, readers will find a book written from the heart. Anyone who has experienced loss can relate. The Bible verses are a great addition.
Overall, an excellent resource.”
