Introduction:
Jo Helen Cox likes to dabble in many fields. Walks with her grandmother instilled in her a love of nature. She consumes information about geology, paleontology, botany, anthropology, and astronomy. Cox paints, sculpts, makes jewelry, and photographs nature. She has built walls, laid bricks and has driven a bulldozer.
None of those things prepared her to write books, particularly biblical commentaries. That took one of God’s strange blessings–dyslexia. The stories of interesting things came naturally to her. Writing her thoughts down did not. Her dysfunction provided incentive to spend time pondering theological concepts and questioning the teachings she found that contradicted the Bible.
Biography:
Jo Helen Cox took basic Bible classes in college, but most of her training on theology was self-taught. She began writing after turning forty to keep her family informed about fossils found on the family farm. That prompted her to write on the beliefs about creation. From there, her theological questions followed. Her studies reinforce the beliefs that God made His ways simple enough for everyone. We built the obstacles and called them holy.
As an air Force brat, Cox’s family moved across the USA several times. Instead of becoming a world traveler, she enjoys staying home. Cox has a degree in fine arts so loves colors and shapes. She was a mechanical draftsman for many years, transitioning from pen to computer. Cox preferred the pen so retired to a quieter life. She lives in West Texas with her husband and a menagerie of animals.
