0/5 ( ratings)

Rodney Jetton grew up in the seventies and eighties as the son of a Southern Baptist preacher. Growing up as a pastor’s son can be challenging and his autobiography does a great job of providing us with a candid and sometimes humorous look at what goes on after the Sunday sermon.

In this heartwarming narrative, you will get to know the extended Jetton family and share in their triumphs and setbacks. While this book was written for his children, and is full of touching stories, educational illustrations and commonsense advice, it will provide the reader with a unique glimpse into the consequences of the good and bad choices we make daily in our lives.

The first few chapters introduce a lively cast of family members and are filled with childhood memories of Rodney’s years growing up. He then takes us through his high school and college years, sharing intimate details about his failure to follow his parent’s teachings and God’s commandments. Through it all he demonstrates God’s capacity to forgive a prodigal son.

Rodney’s testimony of God’s amazing grace during the first twenty years of his life will provide comfort and guidance to today’s parents trying to raise children and teenagers in a Christian home. Teenagers and young adults will benefit from these frank and easy to read stories on the temptations and challenges they must overcome in today’s fast paced world.
