Jim Sides draws upon a lifetime of experiences to dovetail stories
taking place on opposite sides of the world. Through tragedy,
misfortune, and international intrigue the participants discover
the difference between head knowledge and heart knowledge. That
difference is the great divide illustrated most critically in the
matter of a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The
story opens with the hijacking of a Japanese airliner carrying a
double agent to North Korea in 1969. Events in both Koreas become
interspersed with the story of a spiritual transformation in the
United States where the derelict Edwin Scruggs and the outwardly
successful Reverend Reagan Ainsworth discover what it means to live
true Christianity. The death of Scruggs brings into focus the
priorities of Ainsworth, Daniels, the mission worker Betty Hodges,
and the pompously religious Paul Johnson. Even after his death
Edwin Scruggs serves as a guide to the way home. Tension between
right and wrong in the arenas of leadership, sovereignty of
nations, personal morality, and the need for worldwide
understanding and brotherhood is evident; the importance of
relationships is woven into the narrative from beginning to end.
Nearly all of the events are based on fact, although they have been
fictionalized for the telling. Jim Sides received the Bachelor of
Music Education degree in 1965 from Mars Hill College, Mars Hill,
NC, and holds the Master of Church Music (1967) and Doctor of
Musical Arts (1982) from Southwestern Seminary, Fort Worth, TX.
From 1967-1971 he served on active duty as an Air Force
Administrative Officer, with assignments in Florida, South Korea,
and Illinois. He has served churches in the southeastern United
States for thirty years and was on college music faculties for
seven years.
