Welcome to Ancient Wisdom for Today
In a world full of noise and uncertainty, Ancient Wisdom for Today is a quiet place where truth still speaks—rooted in the timeless words of Scripture and brought to life for the challenges we face today.
Here, Dr. Jimmie Aaron Kepler—an award-winning author, poet, ordained minister, and storyteller—invites you to journey through God’s Word with fresh eyes and an open heart. With a deep well of personal experience that includes time as a U.S. Army Captain, religious educator, corporate trainer, and software engineer, Dr. Kepler brings both spiritual depth and practical wisdom to his writing.
He’s the author of seventeen books and over one thousand published articles, and he’s perhaps best known for The Bible Speaks on Life Issues—a four-book best-selling series offering biblical advice and encouragement for those facing life’s everyday challenges. Whether it’s waiting on God’s timing, caring for a loved one, or finding hope in hardship, his words speak life into weary hearts.
His most recent work, The Liberator’s Song: An Allegorical Retelling of the Torah and the Pentateuch, offers a poetic and powerful walk through the foundational books of Scripture—blending imagination, theology, and reflection.
At Ancient Wisdom for Today, Dr. Kepler draws from his seminary education at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, his time in ministry, and his own life journey to explore the Bible’s enduring relevance. This site is a space for seekers and believers alike—a place to find guidance, inspiration, and truth.
He writes fiction under Jim Kepler. His new novel, The Shamrock Incident: The Evolution No One Saw Coming, is out now in print and eBook. Imagine a quiet Texas town where prairie dogs wearing glowing helmets become the unlikely messengers of an ancient intelligence—and where a widowed father and his daughter must lead humanity through a choice between evolution or destruction. It’s Close Encounters meets small-town America, a story full of mystery, heart, and humor.
Whether you’re deep in the faith or just beginning your walk, there’s something here for you. So pull up a chair, pour a cup of coffee, and let’s journey together—one verse, one insight, one story at a time.
When are you coming back to Starbucks at Arapaho / Hillcrest ? We miss you..
I’ve been going to Coit and Campbell as it has a larger amount of indoor seating.
Thanks for your information about how to change the default font in Scrivener! This has been annoying me for the last four years that I’ve used the program (which I love.)
Jimmie, thanks for the comment on my BRMCWC post. It would be great to connect with you further. Brad Bloom, Publisher, Faith & Fitness Magazine
Hi Jimmie,
Did not know you had become a writer! I enjoyed the piece about Buna’s “Poka-dot House”. When traveling through the town, I would always look for that house! Hope you and your family are well.
