Lewis and Frank Peretti, in exploring and answering all these questions with a year-long daily review of actual Yahoo News headlines of 2023 presenting this spiritual warfare examination with the face of the reality of evil and the promises and hope of a Savior.

As Founder Owner of Resources Unlimited Group and Chairman of Best Path Foundation, Jim Davis brings over 40 years proven leadership experience in Biblically-based Life Purpose Coaching, Career Counseling, Servant Leadership Development, Executive Management, Property Valuations, Governmental Service, Mentoring, Pro-Life Activism, and Writing. He is strongly supported educationally having earned a Master’s degree in 1979, and concurrent Bachelor’s degrees in 1975 (Psychology & Criminology), graduating with 175 credit hours in eight years on the GI Bill with no student debt and all three degrees Summa Cum Laude. Jim was chosen for Leadership VA in 1987, an intensive year-long executive management and development program (as one of 60 selected from a pool of 45, 000) sponsored by the Veterans Administration. Jim earned an unprecedented 10 grade promotions over 12 years with the V.A., which was capped by serving as the Acting Director of the Los Angeles, CA Regional Office in 1988, which was the largest in the V.A. with almost 600 staff involved in delivering 8% of all veterans’ services nationally. Jim also served as Assistant Chief Specially Adapted Housing in Washington, D.C. where he helped guide the adaptation or obtaining of handicapped accessible housing for over 1, 500 disabled veterans annually; and was the Chief Appraiser over 450 fee appraisers and 60 compliance inspectors, Chief of Loan Service and Claims over 2, 200, 000 loans, and GM-15 Loan Guaranty Officer in Los Angeles, where he oversaw up to 200 loan originations daily, up to 800 appraisals daily, the servicing of up to 15, 000 defaulted GI loans, and an inventory of up to 4, 500 repossessed properties valued at over $677, 000, 000. This successful management effort of his division resulted in the awarding of the first Superior Performance Award in the history of the Regional Office.
Jim has successfully developed, owned, and managed several businesses, including his own consultation firm in Las Vegas, NV generating an annual personal income over $300, 000 in 1988. When the Lord sovereignly and abruptly ended that effort in a day in 1989, Jim returned to his home place in Ohio (after 21 years as a prodigal son), but could not find a job for two years although diligently searching! As a direct result of God’s sense of humor and anointed purpose, Jim became a Career Advisor with a career counseling firm in Columbus in 1990, where he received the national “Extra Mile Award” in 1992, two regional “Outstanding Performance Awards” in 1993, and was honored as the “International Career Advisor of the Year” for both 1994 and 1995 (among 200 peers), which was based upon his exceptional performance and client satisfaction rankings. Jim was further blessed in 1995 by being promoted to Corporate Director for Training and Career Services, where he created, implemented, and managed the pilot “100% Quality Satisfaction” program for 10 offices across 5 states. This program successfully provided comprehensive career services, including assisting clients to focus on purpose, and providing counseling support and spiritual guidance for over 1, 600 job seekers annually! This people group, those lost in confusion and seeking significance in their lives through their work, broke Jim’s heart even before he came to accept salvation and the Lordship of Jesus Christ over his life on January 29, 1992 in an intersection of Five Points, OH during a fear-death experience.
Jim has also exhibited strong personal commitment as a four-year Veteran of the U.S. Air Force (Titan II ICBM nuclear weapons – recognized on a three-man team as the “Top Missile Shooters” in the Air Force in 1970). Additionally, Jim has served as a Private Pilot with 440 logged hours; licensed Residential Real Estate Appraiser in Ohio, Master Tract Appraiser (subdivision appraiser) in Nevada; work and witness Missions Coordinator and participant (250 mission trips since 1996), CBMC and PAGA men’s accountability group leader (since 1994), adult Sunday School Teacher, youth group leader, Upward Referee (for 12 seasons), church hea
