John Wesley ("Wes") Adams, B.A., M.A., M.Div., Ph.D., is a professor, scholar, minister, author and public speaker. He has written numerous articles (for magazines and journals), Bible commentaries and books on a variety of subjects. He is contributing author and associate editor of the Fire Bible, a study Bible published in over 40 languages and distributed on six continents. He continues to teach a few courses at the university level. Dr. Adams' four earned degrees are from three academic institutions of higher learning. The degrees were all obtained with honors and all studies were done in residence (on site, not online)- B.A., Southern Nazarene University (Cum Laude) M.A., Southern Nazarene University (Summa Cum Laude) M.Div., Nazarene Theological Seminary (Magna Cum Laude) Ph.D., Baylor University (Summa Cum Laude) The author's favorite activity (other than ministry) is travel. He and his wife Jane (30 years married before her death) traveled to Brazil (7 weeks), Guatemala, seven European nations, England (4 summers; living there 2 years plus), Scotland, Wales, Canada and 40 of our 50 states in the USA. In May 2013, Dr. Adams completed 55 years as a quadriplegic, having suffering a spinal cord injury at age 16 in an auto accident. He has been active and healthy since his discharge from a physical rehabilitation center in November 1959. He has never once been hospitalized during the subsequent five plus decades. He attributes his health and longevity as a quadriplegic first to the life-giving and life-sustaining power of God and in His word, then to lifestyle wisdom, disciplined heath habits, good caregivers, a righteous heritage and finally good family genes. Adams' book, Tenacious Love, is about his life and especially that of his wife, Jane.
