Coming Soon! A Memoir by Marcella Jones
This is a quick note to say my mom completed her memoir and it’s coming soon. Addendum: It’s here! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJDVHW47?ref_=pe_93986420_774957520
Over the past ten years, Marcella (Marcy) Jones has carefully crafted her memoir. In the book, she shares details about their thirty years in Nigeria. It’s being published through Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) and will be available on Amazon as a soft-cover and an eBook.
Here’s a sneak preview of the back cover:
Growing up on a farm in California’s fertile Central Valley, Marcella Delk understands the importance of timing for planting and harvesting crops. When she hears God’s call to plant seeds of the Good News of Jesus in faraway fields, she goes to Bible college to train as one of God’s laborers—and meets Herbert Jones. He too has heard the call.
Follow Marcella’s journey to Nigeria where she, Herb, and their five children discover the many joys and challenges that come with planting God’s Gospel. Although she misses her children who are sent to boarding school and her extended family back home, she’s surrounded by the larger family of God’s harvesters.
Nigerian believers and missionaries labor together to spread the Good News among people hungry for spiritual food. Through laughter and tears, they forge deep bonds in the shared planting of the Gospel. Thirty years on the mission field, she’s the farm girl who answered God’s call.
Harvesters Needed is a story of bold faith. A timely story for then—and now.
In this delightful book, you’ll discover little-known details like how Herb proposed after 2 1/2 years of long-distance dating.
And you’ll find answers to questions such as these:
–How long did it take Marcy and Herb to learn the Yoruba language?
–Which of their children were born in Nigeria and graduated from high school there?
–In how many homes did they live overseas?
If you’d like to join the Launch Team for the book which is coming soon, please reply to this post. I’d love your help to propel this charming, adventurous story into the world.
