Young presents the inspiring story of the pastor's responsibility, integrity, and faithfulness. T.D. Jakes is the pastor of The Potter's House, a 30,000-member megachurch in Dallas, Texas. This highly sought conference speaker, Grammy Award nominee, and entrepreneurial trainer was listed by Time magazine as one of the twenty-five most influential evangelicals in America in 2005. But few people realize that just twelve years ago, he was the pastor of a church of fifty families in West Virginia. Here is a story of what is possible for "those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose" (Romans 8: 28). Thomas Dexter Jakes spent an impoverished childhood in the Appalachian Mountains. Entrepreneurial seeds were planted and bore fruit when, as a teenager, he shouldered the responsibilities of running his deceased father's business. He also overcame the seduction of drugs and crime. From the trials and triumps of T.D. Jakes, you will learn the power of vision, responsibility, integrity, and faithfulness.
