James Harnish contends that no single fact is more basic to his life's narrative that this: "I have a twin brother." His brother arrived four minutes after he did. They grew up in the same community, attended the same schools, and graduated from the same college. Their paths separated when Jack followed his wife back to Michigan and James followed his wife to Florida.
They were strong-willed children. They sometimes shared all the intimacy of what Harnish describes as "two cats in a burlap bag."
James was more compulsive, always wanting to get the work done, whereas his twin brother felt there was always time to do it later. While there are good reasons for feeling the way James did, he later realized that compulsive overachievers begin to believe that everything depends upon them.
Jacob felt like that in the first part of his life; later, at Bethel he discerned that God was the all-important one.
