The new book, "Paper Angels", by Jimmy Wayne was released today, November 1, 2011. This book is a meaningful and spiritual look at the meaning of Christmas and the kindness of people and the struggles that people around you go through every day. Jimmy Wayne is a walking example of the kind of person we should all strive to be - caring, thoughtful and selfless in what we do. I wish the media would stop focusing on people like the Kardashians and Justin Beiber and start focusing on people that contribute like Jimmy. Jimmy Wayne IS a paper angel of sorts. Be sure to pick up your copy today on Amazon.com.

Book Description:
Kevin Morrell is a forty-three-year-old husband and father who runs a successful design and marketing firm that's crashed into the suffering economy. Attempting to navigate the busyness of the mall at Christmas, Kevin is humbled when he stumbles across the Salvation Army's Angel Tree Project. His wife insists that he take a paper ornament.
The name on the ornament is Thomas Brandt, a fifteen-year-old still reeling from the implosion of his family—from years of verbal abuse from an alcoholic father to a mother who finally left him behind, only to find herself and her children penniless and struggling. The only thing has allowed Lynn to survive is her faith. Thomas shares that faith, but he also wonders why God has seemingly abandoned them.
This is the story about a man and a boy one December. A man whose life is changed by a simple expression of kindness, and a boy who takes that expression of kindness and shows the true meaning of Christmas.
