10.0 out of 10.0 stars
Boker Tov, Visions and Dreams of a Pilgrim by Dennis C. Jones captures his life story from a shy 4-year-old attending Sunday school to a young Hippie crossing the Canadian border to find freedom and the meaning of life. Short vignettes and scripture encompass his book. He draws his inspiration from John Bunyan who wrote “The Pilgrim’s Progress.” Dennis C. Jones’ expressive writing style, the sweet sense of adventure and the candid, with some funny moments that led this “sojourner” to a “lit path” after Christ brings much hope to our “lost” generation. With colorful illustrations and paintings that relay to readers the visions that were shown to this young man on a quest to find himself (and avoid the draft), this is an inspiring read! Readers will be surprised by the visions, dreams, as God would not let him go. His hope in writing this book is to speak to other searching souls and lead them to eternity in Christ Jesus.
Dennis grew up in the turbulent 60’s and 70’s. A time of the Vietnam War, and a time when the author had turned away from God after experiencing the death of his beloved brother and mother from cancer. Dennis tried to walk away from God, and was bent on never trusting God. He seeks out life in different forms, including partying, and other religions briefly. Hitchhiking across the Canadian border, over 2600 miles yields an adventure made for a movie, yet he keeps the focus on Christ’s work in his life and the amazing things God showed him. If he had shared more on his life and later years, it would be a movie!
Wonderfully written with colored illustrations shed light of his journeys, adventures, dreams, and visions, alongside the sprinkling of Scripture that reflect the journey of man to his intended destination.
A highly recommended read for encouragement, adventure, and the realization that we are created beings with eternity set in our hearts. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
The book was written in such a way that kept my attention as I could not put the book down. I was amazed at how God spoke to him, the vivid visions enhanced by the drawings of those visions. This is a book to remember – to give to others as well!
Boker Tov! I absolutely loved this book! It was a pleasure to read and filled with scripture that had such deep meaning to life and glorified the work of Christ in our lives. I will keep this for my personal library to reflect on and give to others.
