Overview

Rodney Jetton grew up in the Seventies and Eighties as the son of a Southern Baptist preacher. Being 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 both the good times and hard times. 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 good and bad choices. The first few chapters introduce the family members and are filled with childhood memories of Rodney's years growing up, and then he takes us through his high school and college years. Rodney shares intimate details about his failure to follow his parent's teachings and God's commandments, all while showing how God forgave a prodigal son. Rodney's testimony of God's amazing grace during the first 20 years of his life will provide comfort and guidance to today's parents trying to raise teenagers in a Christian home, and teenagers will benefit from these frank and easy to read stories on the temptations they need to overcome in today's fast paced world.
