It is an eye opener to truth of the gospel

I have seen that the writings of E. Stanley Jones are much deeper and open up many truths that should be known that modern day denominationalism does not touch. I have been so touched by the truths that were brought that I have ordered nearly every book that he has written and have been bless by all of them. I have been starting churches in Mexico for the past 29 years and have a direct call from God to that work for that reason, it has had a success and is yet bearing fruit of souls. E. Stanley Jones lived the life of a true missionary in India and had a profound impact on that nation and opened up India to the gospel and we today are seeing the result of his sacrifices.
