More About the Author

Although I have been writing for publication for 50 years or since 1961, my writing career almost never happened.

My Early Experience. As a freshman in college I took an English course my first semester. Fresh from high school three months earlier I considered myself a decent student of my native tongue. As a big part of the class we were required to write one or more compositions each week. A suitable and easy task, I thought. However, my professor was quick to convince me that I was misinformed and that I knew little if anything about the "King's English."

No matter how hard I tried to assure him of my grasp for the language of America, he proceeded, with each and every submission, to bleed red ink of corrections all over my papers. On numerous occasions it seemed that his copious red ink superseded the blue ink of my efforts.

Until this course I had no idea that there could be a grade lower than "F" until one of my papers received an "F minus, minus". It was truly humiliating and discouraging. Somehow--perhaps through the professor's pity or strong desire never to see me again--I escaped that course with a "D - minus".

Putting Failure Behind Me. Undaunted by that near failure, when I returned for my sophomore year, I decided to change my major to a scientific field, not realizing I would be required to write even more term papers as a significant part of my grade. At the same time I decided to sign on as a sports reporter for the college newspaper, although I had no such experience--I just loved sports. My primary role was to interview star student athletes and write feature articles about them. My efforts were applauded by newspaper staff and fellow students.

Virtually all the scientific papers I wrote that year for multiple professors received an "A" with encouraging comments about my writing style. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree "With Distinction", I moved on to graduate school where three years later I earned a Ph.D. During those three years my scientific writing became more defined and the first version of my thesis was accepted with only minor corrections--a feat only dreamed of by my peers. Out of that thesis I wrote two scientific papers that received national awards for the "Most Outstanding Research" in my field of study.

Forging Ahead. Since that first frustrating encounter with college English, I have doggedly forged ahead, authoring and publishing hundreds of articles for professional journals, trade publications and popular magazines, university publications, newspapers, educational materials, newsletters and books (most of which are available here on Amazon).

My first book was published in 1998. Since then I have written 15 books. I trust you will find one or more to your liking or at least take the time to read an excerpt or two. As you will notice, I do not confine myself to any one genre or subject; although most of my writing emerges from personal experience or research.

Most of my published works follow a Christian theme of faith and encouragement. Others are designed to inform and educate. Many of my books have received high praise and endorsements from well-known people and the general public. But, you, of course, will have to determine their worth for yourself. The majority of my books are also available on Amazon.com as Kindle e-book downloads.

Thank you for taking the time for visiting this site. May you find something of interest and value for yourself or someone you care about.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for America, January 9, 2011

By 

Jerry Boykin - See all my reviews

This review is from: Islam & Christianity (Paperback)

This book is an important read for Americans regardless of their religious beliefs. As James Gauss explains, the threat from Islam is based on a 1400 year old theology which Gauss outlines in the most understandable terms of any book I have read on the subject. The book debunks many of the myths about Islam that have created confusion for Americans in general and for Christians specifically. I will use this book as a reference for dialogue on the subject of Islam. I highly recommend this to all.

This review is from: Islam & Christianity (Paperback)

This is a great book for sharing what the Koran says and how it relates to Christianity. I wonder if most Muslims know what their book says. If they read their book, maybe they would not hate all non-Muslims and Christians and they would follow Christ.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Islam & Christianity (Paperback)

Lately I have been doing study on Islam. As a Bible College graduate, I was familiar with the basic tenets of Islam, and through the Voice of the Martyrs, I knew Muslims were the biggest persecutors of Christians. Also thanks to the work of Joel Richardson, I was familiar with the Islamic End-Time theory.

Then I came acorss this book by Dr. Gauss. I was blown away by the information presented. This book is a MUST READ for everybody. It dispels the myth that the God of the Bible and Allah are the same. It dispels the myth of "moderate" Islam and it reveals the ignorance of our society.

Joel Richardson in his book "The Islamic Antichrist" makes a strong case for the Biblical Antichrist rising out of Islam as Al Mahdi and the last major empire being an Islamic Caliphate. James Gauss in his book "Islam and Christianity" shows WHY. He exposes the insecurity of the Muslim mindset and the true goal of Islam...global domination through jihad.

While by no means a "doomsday" book, it does show that the situation is indeed grave and the Church...as well as America has to wake up.

God Bless Dr. Gauss for having the courage to be politically incorrect and telling the truth.
