Kathy’s P.O. Box 678 • Katy, TX 77492-0678 • 979-885-3562 Shrimp Jim Baker’s Unified Theory Of Everything --- With God’s Help Boil (JBUTOE-WGH) A new book about Science and God. Revised publish date: late 2020 from 5-9pm BAKER’S BOOKS, Katy, TX 22237 Katy FRWY (close to Landry’s) (every Friday) for $10.50 lb (ad revised: 11/22/2019; previous ads are null and void) This new book will contain a credible “unified theory of everything” that can explain the very basics of includes corn and potato science. Albert Einstein predicted that someone “off the street” was going to do this someday. After 53 years (at approx. year 2000), I decided to include God at every step of the process of trying to come up with a scientific “Theory of Everything”. Prior to this, it was about the “only thing” I felt I had not with every pound. been successful at inventing or figuring out. --- You see, God had already given me the gift of inventing at age 9-10, in His response to my Second Major Prayer. --- By the year 2014, God had allowed me to assemble sufficient knowledge that I felt 95%, of what I needed to figure out, had been accomplished. One thing I had always wished for, especially as I was approaching the age of 40, is for God to speak to me. Well, when God did speak to me, I liked my first message from God about as much, I suppose, as Abraham liked his message from God, when he was told to sacrifice his son. But God was testing both of us! God was also making us stronger. There are still two major topics in life to be addressed, prior to publishing the new book. One is a major release of scientific information of the new theory across the U.S.A. The second is starting an evangelical ministry. Author of new book is a Chemistry graduate (B.S. 1971/M.S. 1978) of Texas A&M (A&I) in Kingsville, TX. He also attended S.A.C. in San Antonio. He has additional hours at SWTSU, Texas Tech U., Boston 9027 S.E. I 10 Frontage Rd. • Sealy, Texas 77474 College, Westinghouse PWR. He has worked at Texas Uranium Operations as Chief Chemist, at South Texas Nuclear Project as Nuclear Chemist during pre-startup, and retired from City of Houston where he was in charge of Technical Services Section of Bureau of Air Quality Control. Owner of BAKER’S 979-987-6077 BOOKS is also the author of God’s Amazing Answer To Prayer, in 2012.
