Jimmy Wayne’s ‘Paper Angels’ Book Released Today

November 2, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Jimmy Wayne’s book Paper Angels was released today. Wondering what it’s about? Here’s the description straight from Amazon:

“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.”

You can pick up a copy today at Amazon.com. Also, be sure to follow Jimmy on Twitter @JimmyWayne, just in case you’ve never seen/heard his video for his single Papar Angels, here it is as well. Enjoy!

Jimmy Wayne To Re-Create His ‘Meet Me Halfway’ Walk In Documentary

July 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Tennessean.com is reporting that filming will begin in Nashville next week on a documentary about Jimmy Wayne’s ‘Meet Me Halfway’ walk. Colorado-based i25productions will be filming the documentary, and Jimmy will be re-tracing his steps in a car.

Said Wayne,

“It’s easy to try and explain to people what it’s like out there, but until you really see the places where I slept and the people I met … this is going to give people an opportunity to see exactly what I experienced out there.”

“It’s not going to be some downloaded sound of rain,” he says. “It’s the rain I heard on the walk. I want a blind person to hear this thing and be able to see the desert. It’s very artistic. The video documentary and the music are just more steps in raising awareness for these youth.”

We can’t wait to see the finished product!
