Ronald E. Jones

A true history maker, Jones became the first African American Mayor of Garland, Texas, and the first city employee to rise through the ranks to earn that distinguished honor. His story is one of perseverance, leadership and vision…which is proof that success is possible no matter the road you take in life.

But even after a lifetime of achievement, Jones faced one of his greatest challenges when a serious medical condition left him in intensive care for 179 days.  Many believed he would not survive. Yet through unwavering faith, the tireless devotion of his wife Peggy and the power of prayer, he discovered light even in life’s darkest valleys.

ORDER Now….  A copy of this masterpiece, you will be encouraged not to look back, but to press forward with confidence that God’s plan for your life is greater than anything.
