In this Song of Ascents not one single note is here by right. I deserve nothing; I have everything. God is the heart of this everything. I have everything - everything I need, and more. ... What I had - Jesus, God, the Kingdom of God - was all I wanted and needed. I didn't want anything different. I only wanted more of what I had. (from the Introduction)

More a theological exposition than an autobiography, this book reveals Jones as a man far ahead of his time. The "missional conversation" that's in vogue these days isn't a new thing and, indeed, Jones reveals that a missional mindset doesn't require a complete disconnection from church and tradition. One of my favorite books ever.
