James A. Way, pastor of Buffalo Baptist Church, Kershaw, has published “Mounting Rareness: Seven Characteristics of Growing Christians.”

Way said he hopes the book will enable growing Christians on their journey of faith. “I chose those two words – mounting and rareness – because we are on a faith journey that will lead us higher and higher- much like mounting the summit of a mountain. Rareness was chosen because these characteristics are very rare in the current climate of Christianity, [where there is] a high religious and spiritual fervor, [but] much seems to be based on ‘me, my and mine’ instead of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”
Way said “Mounting Rareness” grew out of his own spiritual journey and the journeys of others around him.
The author grew up in Bamberg. He graduated from Charleston Southern University and Southwestern Seminary. He and his wife Jenny have three children. Way has previously served churches in Texas, Michigan and West Virginia.
