James Manasco is a husband, father, and minister with over 25 years of experience serving in family, youth, and music ministry. His passion is helping people encounter God in the ordinary and often painful waiting seasons of life. As a pastor and teacher, James writes with a heart for spiritual depth, personal surrender, and the refining fire of God’s presence. He is the author of The Waiting: Finding God in the Delay and The Fire and the Call: When God Sets His People Ablaze, with many more books to come, each one a reflection of how God has been working in his own life. James believes these messages were first written for him, and his deepest desire is to share them freely with anyone who may be encouraged or challenged by them. James currently lives with his wife and two children, continuing to pursue a life of humble obedience, faithful service, and honest reflection through writing and ministry.
