Critics Review
“Dr. Dan Jones reflects on the choices he made at milestone moments as University of Mississippi chancellor, medical school dean, physician, missionary, and family member. Although drawn from a high-profile life, the story matters because of the universality readers feel in an account of having to choose between the easy choice and the right one.” - Ellen Ann Fentress, author of The Steps We Take: A Memoir of Southern Reckoning
“The experiences shared in this book could easily encompass more than one lifetime. Despite working closely with Dr. Dan Jones over decades, I was impressed with the vigor of his enduring commitment to his calling as a missionary. Everything else in his life pales compared to that singular focus. I have known Dan to be a physician, a scientist, a mentor, a teacher, a leader, and a friend, but the consistent thread through this book tells us that he views himself a minister and a missionary trying to right the wrongs of our world as he travels through the days and years.” - LouAnn Woodward, vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine at University of Mississippi Medical Center
