Amazing Story

This book is an amazing illustration of what God can do with a man who decides to serve Him.. Very inspirational. Would recommend it 100%.

Great Book!!!

I was really encouaged and challenged by Gospel Trailblazer. It tells the life story of Howard O. Jones, who has been described as the "Jackie Robinson of evangelism." The book is incredibly well-written, and the anecdotes and stories reveal the real face of America -- warts and all -- during the 1930's through 1960's, before civil rights were given to African Americans. I highly recommend this book.
