God calls the church to overcome racism in the world. God called Howard Jones to overcome racism in the church.
From his early challenges in a white Bible school to his triumph as the first black evangelist to conduct Crusades in Africa, this is a moving account of Howard Jones--a man who understands the power of prayer, and the absolute necessity of following God's call wherever it leads.
In these pages, you'll get to know one of the most inspirational men you've ever met--an authentic model of what it means to be not just an African-American leader, but a true trailblazer for the kingdom of God.

Great Book!!!,
By Anna Anderson "Anna Anderson" (Morrison, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gospel Trailblazer: An African American Preacher's Historic Journey Across Racial Lines (Hardcover)
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.
