Reverend James Phillips Noble (1922-2022) grew up in Learned, Mississippi. After graduating from King College in Bristol, Tennessee and Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia, he was ordained a Presbyterian minister. He completed graduate work in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Cambridge University in England. From 1956-1971, Noble was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Anniston, Alabama, where the events described in this book took place. Over his career, he also served pastorates in Georgia and South Carolina, the last of which was Charleston’s historic First (Scots) Presbyterian Church. Noble was also Co-President of the Board of Pensions of the Presbyterian Church, USA. He has traveled extensively on six continents. Noble was married to Betty Pope Scott. They had three children (Betty, Phil, Jr., and Scott) and two grandchildren. He was retired and living in Decatur, Georgia at the time of his death. He was also the author of Getting Beyond Tragedy (2006).
Getting Beyond Tragedy is the straightforward, inspiring story of how one family experienced, endured, and continues moving beyond a tragedy--the passing of the youngest of three children, a son who died of leukemia. Anyone grieving will be able to identify with the feelings as described by the Noble family and will be encouraged to move beyond that loss in reading this book.--Rev. Jasper N. Keith, pastor, Decatur Presbyterian Church, and professor emeritus, Columbia Theological Seminary
