Book Description

Jimmy Powell also known as Pastor Cochise Chops or Brother Jim was raised in rural Kentucky, where from the time he was 10 years old, he wanted to be a biker, a nomadic Harley rider!!! After being a wild child for many years, at the age of 25 Cochise joined a Motorcycle Club called the Iron Barons, which lead him to become even wilder. Though Jimmy loved the hard core biker life style, there came a day when he was pulled away from it. His mother had told a close family friend, that her son, Jim, would one day be a preacher. Her friend laughed at such a thing. Since our lives are preordained by God, the Lord did exactly what Mrs. Powell had said. He called Cochise out from the outlaw motorcycle world to preach the Word of God. No one would have ever guessed this, including the rebel himself. But that is what happened. This is Pastor Cochise's story. It's not all about him being a sinner. It's not all about him being a pastor and preacher. Rather this autobiography is more about how circumstances, from birth to now, molded and made Jimmy Powell into what he is today. A pastor, a preacher, a man who tries hard to be a godly man, but the truth is, "He Is Still A Rebel"!!! Cochise is the pastor of a church plant in Daytona Beach, FL called Set Free Daytona, and travels as an Evangelist. He is married to Bianca Canary Powell, and together they have 8 children and 20 grand babies. He received his Bachelors Degree from Mid-Continent Baptist Bible College, now called Mid-Continent University, in 1988, and is still pursuing his Masters Degree from another University. Yet he is content with what he has, a Doctorate in Life Lessons and Hard Knocks.
