EP 442: AN AMERICA HERO: One Man's Legacy of Fatherhood and Faith with author Jack Watts

My guest today is author Jack Watts. Having written thirty-four books and screenplays, including nine biographies, six of them commissioned, he received his AB from Georgia State University, his MA in Church-State Studies from Baylor University, and all but his dissertation for a PhD from Emory University.

He has co-authored his newest book along with Tom David, Jr, AN AMERICAN HERO: ONE MAN’S LEGACY OF FATHERHOOD AND FAITH. 

The book pays homage to Tom Davis’ father, “Jimmy” Davis, who overcame impossible odds as a child after being dumped at an orphanage by his degenerate father, who he never saw again. 

Pulling himself up by the bootstraps, Jimmy got an education and then sneaked into the army underage—rising through the ranks to become a WWII decorated officer—fighting in The Battle of the Bulge. But there is so much more to the story.
