Tracing the steps in his spiritual and earthly journey, Joshua McClure’s memoir touches the heart and mind. Each chapter illuminates the important roles of family, bosses, colleagues, teachers and friends in his life. He connects clearly his personal history with spiritual insights made clear to him over his years in his birth family, in school, at various work places, and in the churches where he worshipped and became a leader. This book provides history, details, and wisdom about Pentecostalism and race relations in the decades following WWII. 
 
McClure also shares some difficult lessons he learned about church growth and spiritual maturity, acknowledging over and over again the influence of other writers, pastors, and friends. Those influences include Martin Luther, Calvin Miller, James Robison, Oswald Chambers and James Baldwin.
