E. James DuBois’s Newly Released “The Journey of a Chosen Few” is a Compelling Narrative of Courage, Leadership, and Faith-Driven Service

Kissimmee, FL, October 15, 2025 --(PR.com)-- “The Journey of a Chosen Few”: an inspiring story of valor, leadership, and service. “The Journey of a Chosen Few” is the creation of published author, E. James DuBois, a graduate of Philadelphia Biblical University (now Cairn University) and the California Graduate School of Theology. He has served as a pastor, teacher, school administrator, state prison chaplain, and coordinator of chaplaincy services, retiring from the New Jersey Department of Corrections as an assistant divisional director. A decorated Vietnam War veteran, he also led the New Jersey Department of Corrections Critical Incident Stress Management Team in support of the Port Authority at Ground Zero following the September 11, 2001 attacks. Jim and his wife, Christina, have been married for fifty-six years, have five grandchildren, and currently reside in Kissimmee, Florida.

DuBois shares, “As a young West Point cadet, Karl Van Ness participated in an academy exchange program with the Coast Guard Academy. During a creative class assignment, Karl and a fellow classmate created an advanced aerial defense system. This project attracted the attention of officials in the Department of Defense, which led to Karl’s inclusion in a covert operations group. Karl’s participation in several operations were successful until the unit leadership went rogue. Karl refused to participate in an unlawful operation, which led to his expulsion and assignment to an explosive disposal unit in a war zone. Karl experienced several injuries in his courageous rescue of fellow soldiers, which led to his being awarded a Silver Star.
Karl’s years of experience in hostage rescues led to the swift rescue of his wife and a unique punishment of her abductors. Karl Van Ness’s leadership skills and concern for fellow soldiers resulted in his appointment as the CEO of the Pathfinder Ministry. This ministry resulted in the groundbreaking for a soldiers’ home, thus providing care for our senior military family.”
