This review is from: The Journey of TD Jakes (Hardcover)

This book gave a powerful glimpse into the lens of America's best preacher, T.D. Jakes. It explains how his ministry started very simple and has become the tone of Americans, whether believers or unbelievers alike. I am captivated how even through economic success, he never stopped preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and taking the message of the Kingdom from the neighborhood to the nations. We are blessed to appreciate the gift of God, through his servant, the honorable Bishop T.D. Jakes!
