Please Read THe Book

To anyone that will read this book you will find an honest report of the activities and people that I met through my years of participating in the world of Gospel Music. Nothing is said or done to highlight the negative. The book must be read with a tone of frankness. Good readers can appreciate that. I love Gospel Music and all the people that came forth to make it happen. Some of the information was the results of situations that occured as long as twenty years ago. Please read the entire book or you may come away with a different point of view. I make no apologies for my own observation of individuals mentioned in my book but none were mentioned to bring attention to them. The attention is to be placed on me for my millions of fans to find out more about me. To know me is to love me. I am honest, loving, God fearing, and definately in love with Jesus. Please read with an open mind! God has been good to me and I want to share with others how the Lord will bless you even when you have gone through many challenges. Some people read some of the book and thought I was trying to put someone down. That is not the truth read all of it and you will see that I lift everyone that I met on my way to twenty-five years. I love you all and thank God that through BET TV, we were able to present gospel music to the world.

A Look Inside God's Kingdom

Anyone who knows anything about gospel music knows that Dr. Bobby Jones is the King of the Road. His Saturday night gospel show has since I was in suspenders been the only way for me to watch gospel music stars doing their stuff. Now, reading his remarkable memoir, I realize how hard life has been for Bobby and how easy he makes it look on his show and off. I loved all these behind-the-scenes stories of everyone from Louis Farrikan and the Rev. Jesse Jackson to all the top gospel talents in the industry.

If you've ever been lucky enough to watch The Bobby Jones Gospel show on BET Network, you already know that when it comes to gospel singing and entertainment, this show really smokes. And Bobby Jones makes it all happen. He sings, he charms and he brings the gospel spirit to everyone. Finally the story of Bobby Jones. His tough beginings and struggles to succeed are entertainingly presented. The book contains behind the scenes look at his show and the many gospel celebrities who appear on it. The book is a fun read, especially if you have some gospel music playing...even if just in your head.
