"Born July 28, 1931 in Sandyhook, Kentucky he was a son of the late James William and Dazel (Greene) Holbrook. Jim launched his career carrying mail on a horse in Kentucky. He went on to work for the railroad as a truck driver. Later he was called into the ministry at Redeemer Church in Columbus, Ohio. In 1968 he established Calvary Christian Church in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Jim had a conviction to meet the whole needs of the membership, and this conviction led him to Frazeysburg, Ohio where "doors opened" and he was able to start several businesses that blessed, not only the flock, but the community as well. Jim had a great love for God and his family, and he enjoyed farming and traveling."

I'm a Christian, and I'm a daughter of Allan B. Holbrook, now in heaven. My married name is Debby Stevens. My parents, Allan and Marie, were devout Christians, and had 10 children. They were both school teachers, but Mom quit teaching at public school after marriage. But both Mom and Dad home-schooled us all - starting when I was in 1st grade - that's when they came to the decision to home-school us.
Dad earned an income through being an English teacher here in Traverse City, for man years.
Dad started some Bible meetings that took place in the homes of friends of ours and in our own. He was the main teacher in it, and it was in a discoursing style - he would talk about spiritual things with the fathers of the families, each time, and all the children of the families would sit and listen to it all.
