James Bars

"An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field." -- Nikki Giovanni That certainly describes James Bars as he came to the end of self-sufficiency. When life became meaningless and desperation consumed him, James began a search for hope, purpose, meaning and wholeness. It is not by any virtue that James Bars has discovered how to help others. Rather his failures are the bedrock upon which God began to reach him and move him to share the hard lessons learned. You are on planet earth. You know many of the same struggles. But do you know the Way up? Do you have a system for success? James has dedicated much of the last three decades to the practice, study and research of Biblical Teachings, Christian Counseling, Neural Science, Faith and Health Counseling, Human Behavior Consulting, Addiction Recovery Counseling and Master Life Coaching. He is a Christian Counselor, Author, Human Behavior Consultant and Board Certified Master Life Coach. He has logged nearly 50,000 hours in personal research, study, seminars, educational retreats, growth and research groups, counseling and coaching others and has enjoyed nearly 12,000 hours simply sitting in the presence of the Way - Jesus, and listening. It is in the presence of the light that the darkness is dispelled. Jesus is, the light of the world. James Bars was born and raised in Lewiston, Idaho. He served in the 82nd Airborne during the Vietnam War. After the war, James was honorably discharged and moved to Oregon, his heart's true, earthly home, where he has resided since 1973. His life experience has been wide and adventurous. He has gone from living like a native in the wilds of Oregon's Eagle Cap wilderness to upper management with a Fortune 500 international corporation. Regardless of where life found him, James has nearly always been placed in positions of leading, teaching, counseling and coaching others. His joy's include spending time with his family, traveling, being out in God's creation and watching the light come on in someone's eyes as they realize their true worth and value as a child of our awesome God! James has discovered a system for success that helps others find the Way to joy, peace, love, future, health and true prosperity.
