Jim Gash. Jim Gash (JD '93) began his term as the eighth president and chief executive officer of Pepperdine University on August 1, 2019. The first alumnus to lead Pepperdine as president, Gash has served the University in a professional capacity since 1999. Prior to assuming the presidency, he was the associate dean for strategic planning and external relations at the Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, where he provided operational oversight for many signature development initiatives. As a 20-year Caruso Law professor, his primary areas of focus included evidence, torts, and international human rights. Recognized globally for his transformative work in international justice reform, Gash has devoted himself to advancing the rule of law in developing countries and, since 2010, has visited Uganda nearly 30 times with Pepperdine students and alumni to support the country's judiciary, having served as a specialist advisor to the High Court of Uganda since 2012. In 2016 he published his first book, Divine Collision: An African Boy, An American Lawyer, and Their Remarkable Battle for Freedom , which chronicles how his life and the Ugandan criminal justice system were dramatically changed as a result of meeting a Ugandan teenage prisoner during Gash's first visit to Uganda. The following year, Revolution Pictures released the award-winning documentary REMAND about the work of the Sudreau Global Justice Program at Pepperdine Law, which Gash led as its director from 2012 to 2019. Upon graduating from Caruso Law in 1993, Gash worked for the litigation firm DeSimone & Tropio and clerked for the Honorable Edith H. Jones, United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Houston, Texas. He also practiced law for four years at Kirkland & Ellis both in Washington, DC, and Los Angeles, California, until he joined Pepperdine as an associate professor of law in 1999. As a member of the State Bar of California, Gash is admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the US District Court for the Central District of California. He is also a member of the Christian Legal Society. In recognition of his ongoing efforts abroad, Gash received the 2013 Warren Christopher Award, which annually recognizes the State Bar of California's international lawyer of the year. He was named as a 2018 recipient of the Elizabeth Hurlock Beckman Award, presented annually to 10 educators from around the nation for demonstrated excellence in mentoring. In 2018 Gash was appointed as the chancellor of LivingStone International University in Mbale, Uganda. Gash holds a bachelor's degree in finance, summa cum laude, from Abilene Christian University and a juris doctor degree, summa cum laude, from the Pepperdine School of Law, where he finished first in his class and served as the editor in chief of the Pepperdine Law Review . He is married to Joline Gash ('92), and together they have three children, Jessica ('18); Joshua ('20); and Jennifer, a Seaver College senior. savurbks. Good, honest, reliable book reviews guiding you to quality books. Divine Collision. Gash, Jim. Divine Collision: An African Boy, An American Lawyer, and Their Remarkable Battle for Freedom. Franklin, TN: Worthy Publishing. 2015. SUMMARY: Owing his experience to the author of Love Does , Bob Goff , American lawyer Jim Gash felt moved to act upon the whispers of his heart. In a far away country, locked in a perilous jail for murders he did not commit, Henry could only hope and pray to God. As two unlikely men become allies in their determination to change the justice system in Uganda for hundreds of people, the chance meeting can only be referred to as a divine collision of the highest kind… A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS: Already a fan of the book, Love Does , this example of the tremendous outcome of loving others is exemplary. Not being able to ignore that tug on his heart, author and lawyer Jim Gash changed the world for literally hundreds of people…that is powerful stuff. Written in such a way that elicits strong emotional feelings, this book also reads like a thriller full of suspense, beauty and results. Ideal as a major film, sermon series or perhaps even the basis for a Bible study, readers will realize the difference that can be made in lives by actions. I absolutely recommend this book. “Saving one person may not change the world, but for that one person, the world will change forever.” RATING: 5 (out of 5) pennies. *I received a complimentary copy of Divine Collision from Worthy Publishing for my honest review* Share this: Like this: Related. 2 thoughts on “ Divine Collision ” I was interested to read your review of this book. I really wanted to read it, but missed my chance to review it due to a scheduling snafu. Anyway, so glad you got to read and review it! Maybe I will be able to read it soon. It’s always good when good things come from unexpected people. Truly an excellent book…read it if you have the chance (and your busy schedule allows)! Definitely motion picture worthy! ABOUT DIVINE COLLISION. Henry was 16 years old and a model student at school in Uganda. Going to college was a dream for Henry but he knew the odds were against him. One out of 20 Ugandans attend university. Deep down, Henry knew his family couldn’t afford to send him so he worked hard on his grades to keep his scholarships. Then in June 2008, all the money his mother, who was a baker, was saving under the mattress at home had been stolen. The villagers found the thief, beat him to death and left him at Henry’s house. Henry’s dad, not knowing where the thief’s relatives were, buried the man in the field. The next day, Henry’s family was arrested on murder charges. Henry and his brother were brought to a detention center; their mother was released a week later and their dad was imprisoned. They thought they would be released soon. The only thing that gave them hope in prison was their mom, a Christian, who reminded the boys about believing the promises of God. A year later, Henry was losing hope of ever being released. “If only God would send a sign,” thought Henry. In 2009, Rose, who was a task master at the detention center, forced Henry to cane Innocent, one of the prisoners who was sick and not perfoming his tasks. She also ordered Innocent to be buried in the ground to his neck. After Rose ordered him to be unburied, he resumed work. The next day, he tried to escape, but was captured and punished again. Later that day, he died. Henry blamed himself. Rose was arrested for Innocent’s death but Henry was also charged with his murder. HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD. Meanwhile, in the fall of 2009, Jim attended a Christian Legal Society Conference where bestselling author Bob Goff was speaking. Bob was recounting his visit to a juvenile prison in Kampala in Uganda who needed legal assistance. “It seemed as if Bob were talking exclusively to me,” says Jim. So he decided to make a trip to Uganda. “I had no idea the extent to which my life would be changed forever,” says Jim. “I just knew I needed to go.” On January 6, 2010, Jim landed in Uganda where he and his team were tasked with preparing prisoners’ cases for trial. As they reviewed the cause list which contained the names of children and the charges against them, Jim realized Henry was a juvenile who was listed for murder twice.
