He left home at age 17 and went to work with a highway construction group. He finished high school, started college, and entered the Army when WWII began. He served seven years: enlisting as a private first class and being discharged as a major. He was in the infantry and saw service in New Guinea, the Netherlands East Indies, and the Philippines. He was awarded the Bronze Star during an amphibious landing on Morotai Island.
After the war, John was ordained as a Baptist minister and graduated from Mississippi College with a Bachelor of Science degree, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Theology degree. He did further study at New College in Edinburgh, Scotland, Princeton, Harvard, and the Jungian Institute in Zurich, Switzerland.
He served as a missionary in Alaska for 5 years, then pastored in Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas for more than 30 years. He began his second career as a counselor and international business consultant and retired from this practice at 98 years of age. He and his wife Marion Sue live in Boerne, Texas. He is the father of four sons.
At 104 years old, John spends his days writing and reading. Since retiring, he has written more than a dozen books. ver menos
