Jeff D. Copeland is a simple, ordinary person who grew up from humble beginnings in the Pineywoods of East Texas. He has a degree in marketing from Texas A&M University, 30+ years of marketing experience, 20+ years-experience as an outdoor writer and 30 years-experience as a hunting guide. Among other life achievements, he has also managed ranches and whitetail deer breeding operations and sold farm and ranch real estate. Nothing about any of those facts makes him qualified to write a book detailing how an individual might come to seek out, find, and live their best life by walking hand-in-hand in a special relationship of communion with God. It simply means that unbeknownst to Jeff, God gave him the gift of being able to string words together on a piece of paper in such a way as to paint vivid word pictures and stir deep emotions within the reader. Jeff took that gift for granted and made a decent living with it for a couple decades, thinking he was a self-sufficient, self-made man. Despite his Christian parent’s best efforts to “raise him right,” he had serious doubts as to whether or not there even was a “higher power” at all; much less the Loving Heavenly Father he has now come to know over the last ten years.
