My Journey

This book is an excellent source of history and insight. It's full ofinspiration and encouragement. Bringing scripture and history togetherwith divine purpose is ingenious. Tammie DennisAllen Chapel AME ChurchSacramento, CaliforniaI was thrilled to write this review. I've grown to respect and see Dr. RoyJones Jr. as a mentor, especially as a friend. I am always intrigued by Dr. Jones as he shares his love for the Lord, his knowledge, and also his journey. Speaking of his life journey, it takes God, family, ministry, and educationto understand one's personal journey. My Journey: The Family, The Army,The Ministry, Life and Education encourages us to stay the course despitethe ups and downs of life, drawing on three phases that provide the basiccombat training that promotes values. Dr. Jones has written a timelypractical book fit for ministry in the twenty-first century. This is abook all pastors, leaders, and laity need to read and use as a resource forhelping to press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God. Rev.
