Builder of Bridges

A Biography of Dr. Bob Jones, Sr.

Bob Jones was only a man. He would have been the first to acknowledge his sins, his faults, his failings. But he was a man whom God used. Having given his heart to the Lord as a little boy from a simple country home in Southeast Alabama, he gave Him his life as well. God took the willing clay and fashioned a vessel for His own use. God used him as a faithful evangelist, a friend to sinners, a preacher with power -- the power of the Holy Spirit of God. God used him as a fearless prophet, an enemy of God's enemies. God used him as a fruitful educator. Sensing a compelling need, at the prompting of the Spirit of God, Bob Jones founded a college for Christian young people which, with the prayers and support of faithful believers, has grown under the evident blessing of heaven to become the university which bears his name -- the world's largest fundamental Christian university. For more than half a century, its graduates have proclaimed worldwide -- in businesses, in classrooms, in pulpits, and in homes -- the testimony of God's saving grace. - Back cover.
