Biblical Commentary & Spiritual Reflection

Officer. Aviator.
Captain. Diver. Witness.

James A. Kemp spent twenty-five years enforcing the law, a lifetime commanding boats and cockpits, and forty years exploring wrecks beneath the sea. At eighty-five, he writes down what he believes the Holy Spirit has shown him about God’s creation, and about our end.

Who He Is

A witness before he was ever a writer

James does not call himself a literary scholar. His writing began in police reports and training manuals, not manuscripts. But guided by faith and a conviction he cannot set aside, he now writes from the heart, sharing what he believes was placed on his heart by the Holy Spirit about God’s creation, our purpose, and our end.

His books are written for readers seeking a deeper understanding of Scripture through the eyes of an ordinary man who has spent his life in service (on the road, in the air, and beneath the waves) and who is now devoted to God.
