Looking Over My Shoulder: My View through a Manse Window

By Calvin K. Jackson and J. Calvin K. Jackson

Book Overview

As a son of a Presbyterian Minister, Calvin Jackson grew up living in the manse next door to his father's Church in Philadelphia in the 1930s and '40s. This is the personal account of his faith journey from a preacher's son to becoming an inspirational preacher in his own right. It recounts his rambunctious youth through his studies at Univ. of Pennsylvania, Princeton Seminary, and earning his Doctorate in Theology while studying in Scotland and England. Rich in stories of personal adventure, adversity, and development, "Looking Over My Shoulder" shares the joys and challenges of his years in ministry at three different churches in Baltimore, Cincinnati, and New Jersey woven together with his account of marriage, children, and family life. This story of a most personal and meaningful journey through life concludes with Rev. Jackson's thoughts on various critical religious themes that he challenges the reader to ponder and digest.
