The Journey of T. D. Jakes: Living a Life of Faith, Blessing, and Favor

Written by Richard Young

Narrated by Alan Bomar Jones

Discover the lessons Thomas Dexter Jakes learned as a young boy growing up in Appalachian poverty. Experience the victory and redemption of a young man who faced – and overcame – the seduction of drugs and crime. Witness the entrepreneurial seeds that were planted as he shouldered the responsibilities of his deceased father’s business as a teenager. Then, behold his rise from pastor of a tiny rural congregation to the leader of a 30,000-member megachurch in one of America’s largest cities.

Through his experiences you will discover how you, too, can:

• Develop your own God-given vision
• See miracles in your life
• Overcome overwhelming obstacles
• Change your part of the world
• Be led by the Holy Spirit

[obridget1-1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Much of the stuff in this book I already knew...And much of it seemed to be repeating what was already said earlier in the book...But, for those who don't know much about Bishop Jakes and all he had to do to get where he is today...And how he handles being an entrepreneur, pastor, husband, dad, etc..Then this is a good book to read...He's talked about his life quite a bit over the years I have been watching him..So I kind of already knew most of what I was reading by hearing it from him while listening to his sermons or reading articles that he did interviews for...Once I got to chapter 10...I skipped a lot of it because like I said, a lot of it, I already had SOME knowledge of...So, I just scanned the last few chapters...
