Words that Heal, Truth that Transforms, Freedom that Endures!
Why I Write...
The short answer? Because God asked me to. But the story behind that simple answer starts with my deep fear of public speaking—especially about my faith. In 2012, I joined Toastmasters and quietly committed to mentioning God in every speech. Not to be pushy, but because I needed to learn to speak His name without fear. Over time, something shifted. I started to win contests—club, area, district—and nearly made it to the international stage. I thought maybe this was my calling: to be a speaker.
But in 2014, God asked me to do something that made even less sense: “Walker, I want you to write a book.” I pushed back. “I write code, not books.” But He was persistent. He reminded me I’d already written ten speeches. So I said yes. That one act of obedience opened a floodgate. I wrote every day for three years and ended up with 270,000 words. I didn’t realize I had that much to say. Apparently, the Holy Spirit did.
What You’ll Discover in the Perspectives Series…
The Perspectives Series isn’t just something I wrote—it’s a path I walked. A hard one. Marked by frustration, pain, and the realization that I had deeply misjudged God. I didn’t know Him—or what He truly wanted. I wasn’t just hurt; I was wounded by what I thought He had done to my life. But the truth is, I had misunderstood His intentions. He wasn’t trying to harm me—He was trying to love me. And that realization has been the driving force behind everything I’ve done for the past 29 years: to know God more deeply, and to help others want what He wants.
Each book in this series builds on the one before it—layer by layer, like peeling back an onion. And with every layer, you’ll gain more knowledge, more wisdom, and more understanding. Why does that matter? Because you can’t love someone you don’t trust. And you can’t trust someone you don’t know. But when you start to see God for who He really is—everything changes. That’s when trust begins. That’s when relationship begins. And that’s when love becomes real.
This isn’t just information. It’s transformation. As you walk through this journey, you’ll start to want what God wants. You’ll begin to desire a stronger, closer, deeper, more loving, more personal, more passionate, more intimate relationship with Him. That’s the heartbeat of this series—to help you know God, trust Him, and walk with Him like never before.
View Book DetailsUpdate on Book 1 – What Does God Want?
As I mentioned earlier, I originally published Perspectives – Book 1: What Does God Want? on my oldest son’s birthday back in January 2018. At the time, I believed the next logical step was to market the book—after all, that’s what every self-published author is told to do.
But in hindsight? God never told me to publish it… and He certainly never told me to market it. He simply said: “Write the book.”
And true to Walker James fashion, I ran miles ahead of God. If you’re ever wondering what not to do, running ahead of God definitely makes the list.
Add me to the List!What Readers are saying...
If not regarded as a purely religious read, this book offers a fresh new outlook on the meaning of life in general. Besides, many essential questions about destiny, love, helping others, tribulations, good vs evil are raised. What we need to learn is of utmost importance. Whether we deserve what we get is also pivotal in that respect. So, could we improve our own situation, including the people around us, after all?
A moving personal account indeed.

We all have a perspective of God, and each of our perspectives is a choice. The author cautions us to “choose wisely”. This book gets right to the heart of the matter and askes the biggest question of all. What does the creator of everything want with or from me? The author helps us see that the answer is a personal and eternal relationship. I quote the authors own Perspective #85 “Even though God doesn’t need a relationship with you, He wants a relationship with you.“ I encourage everyone who seeks the truth to read this book, but be warned: you may find that you look at things differently after being exposed to additional perspectives.

Wonderful read for anyone who has experienced a trying time in their life where they find themselves questioning God. Perspective us everything and often times we find it difficult to anything other than our own. I find this especially true for parents of children with special needs. We find ourselves asking God everyday what he expects from us and how much more does he really think we can take. Walker's book helps to expand the tunnel vision and look at other perspectives which can lead to a better understanding and sometimes solutions.
