Lost Civilizations

Jim Willis earned his master’s degree in theology from Andover Newton Theological School, and he has been an ordained minister for over forty years. He has also taught college courses in comparative religion and cross-cultural studies. His background in theology and education led to his writing twelve books on religion, the apocalypse, cross-cultural spirituality, and the mysteries of the unknown. His books include Visible Ink Press’ Ancient Gods: Lost Histories, Hidden Truths, and the Conspiracy of Silence, Supernatural Gods: Spiritual Mysteries, Psychic Experiences, and Scientific Truths, Armageddon Now: The End of the World A to Z and The Religion Book.
