Publisher's summary

Most occasionally glance up at the sky if they hear a rumble of thunder, if they notice the wind picking up, or if a pretty sunset has taken over before dusk. Others keep an eye on the sky early and often, every day, with eyes of fascination, a mind of curiosity, and a deep desire to learn about the wonders of the Earth's atmosphere. People like James Spann.

From his earliest days growing up in rural South Alabama, his eyes have been on the sky with wonder. Through challenging situations in his young life, he took the love of weather and turned it into a long, rewarding career as a professional meteorologist. Most know him from social media, television, radio, or the weekly show for weather nerds, WeatherBrains.

But, most don't know his real story. This autobiography allows folks to ride along with James Spann on his long and winding life journey. They will learn things they don't know about him, experience deep details concerning the historic weather events that shaped his career, and most importantly, learn some things that just might help them in their lives and in their darkest days.

The book was written not only to document a long career in weather and the events that shaped it, but to serve as an encouragement and blessing to those who read/listen to it.

Great read!

I loved every second of this book. James Spann is a childhood hero of mine. He’s a hero for a lot of people in Alabama. I enjoyed hearing about his early life and how he got started in the weather business.

James spann captures your full attention

He is so interesting and going through his eyes and his history is very interesting. Did I mention this man has saved countless lives within his life time?

Spann the Man!

Incredible, Mr. James! Thank you for your servant's heart to Alabama! You are so appreciated!

Weatherbrains ‘fanboy’

I’ve grown to trust and respect this man from being a loyal Weatherbrains ‘fanboy’. Mr. Spann is always humble without false modesty while usually being the most knowledgeable and accomplished person in most settings. Always quick to shower praise and credit on others- when there’s something he doesn’t understand- he tirelessly does whatever is required to become proficient in that, too. Or, as with the social sciences and his appreciation for their efforts and talents, he leans on their expertise and utilizes everything from them that might help save lives.
Lastly, I’ll say that this book shows he has a Servant’s Heart and we are all better off for his efforts.

Great Respect

James is a meteorologist that I can respect and his faith and life story is inspiring.

Loved

Perfect book for a weather nerd who watched James Spann even though I live in Arizona which is way out of his market lol

Great Biography of the Goat

Great read and audiobook

I enjoyed listening to James Spann read this book! Having been born in the 70s and raised and lived in Alabama all my life I am very familiar with James Spann. It was great reminiscing old and familiar names in local broadcasts. It was also great recalling all the significant weather events through my life and especially remember Spann’s coverage of it all. We are blessed to have him on our local news and you will be blessed to listen or read this book.

Very interesting!

I enjoyed hearing how Mr Spann got started in the career that has made him a most trusted weather expert.

Great book and great narration

I’ve always loved Spann so I was looking forward to this book. Spann being a TV weatherman broadcaster, I should have known his narration of this book would be great. I really enjoyed hearing about his life and his take on many different issues. Would love for him to narrate other books in the future!
