About this ebook
James Womack
James Womack, the first of two boys, was born on a Mississippi cotton plantation in 1940 to illiterate parents. His mother had a 3rd grade education but his father never saw the inside of a school building. He learned to read and write when he entered the Catholic school in the 8th grade. His father was an abusive alcoholic. God blessed James with a God fearing mother with a heart of gold. She believed and lived a life under the influence of the providence of a kind and loving God. The promises of God gave James the strength to be victorious over evil and hate. He has personified the faith and patience of Job in his lifetime. His mother’s love and influence became a lifeline for James because his dad rejected him at birth based on pure unadulterated ignorance. This action caused James to become an over achiever because in his mind, he thought that if he could just be good enough at anything, it would make his dad love him. Despite many futile attempts at winning dad’s love, James buried his 80-year-old dad when he was 37 without ever receiving a kind word, smile or hug. Despite his humble beginnings, James completed high school with honors and won three academic scholarships. Then he voluntary served in the United States Army for twenty-one years, which included a year in Vietnam, with honor. At age 48, while working a full time job with four children in school, James found the motivation and time to be a husband and father and return to the classroom on a part-time basis and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Butler University. He has given us a road map that demonstrates a proven method of turning scares and into stars.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I searched my shelves for a book I felt would even remotely fit int o a "Freedom" blog hop and decided this may "fit the bill". How little did I know how very appropriate it would be! This is not only the astounding story of a black man growing up during the Jim Crow period of unrest in Mississippi/Louisiana, but of a individual awakened to new truths and a strong appreciation for America and its Constitution. James Womack - born in 1940 - tells of his, spiritual & intellectual growth and of his humiliations, pain, and unlimited challenges.As one who thought I understood the horrors of WWW11 & the Viet Nam war, I had a rude awakening to how very brutal the Viet Nam War was and how misled the World was by the media from America and abroad. I am aware of the way this Nation welcomed home the veterans who had fought with honorable intentions for others freedoms . However, I was not aware of the injustices that greeted them as they landed on America's shores. Many family members and friends served in those wars, some lost their lives, all were forever emotionally scarred for what they endured for others - FOR US!!I heartily encourage all to read this humbling, inspiring story of this man's life growth and battles. I am certain all who read this will become a better person for doing so. What an incredible example of faith, forgiveness, perseverance, patriotism, lover of God and mankind he is.If ever one deserves our support, he does.There was a bit of repetition. The title is vague to me. Abetter title would be more fitting. However the book cover could not have been better. Also, be aware that although there is no profanity or sexual situations, some of the wording at times is very graphic.In my review of this book, I offer a strong Four Stars rating.*This was gifted to me by the author for an honest review, of which I have given.
