ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Gordon Lloyd Jones
Gordon Lloyd Jones is a Kentucky native with a deep appreciation for his roots. Raised by a single mother in Maysville, he understands the meaning of hard work and perseverance firsthand. After graduating high school with honors, he continued his education at Maysville Community and Technical College, the University of Kentucky, and Morehead State College. This dedication to learning equipped him for a successful career, but his love for family led him to marry the lovely Cathy Clark and build a life together in Kentucky. Gordon’s life took an unexpected turn when his passion for writing emerged. WWII: The Fighting Faris Family is his third book, a departure from his first two works, which explored his faith and experiences. This book reflects his desire to share the inspiring story of his family’s wartime experiences and honor the sacrifices made by those who served.
About Books
Explore powerful stories of courage, history, and legacy.
Why did I write this book? I cared.
This book is a story of rags to redeemed to revealed. Why me? Why write this book? Who would read it? These are questions I assume most authors ask themselves. There is a profusion of books written showing how God continues to interact with His people. For me, this book is personal; it is a continuation and illustration of my first book with many pictures. It’s also an endeavor to give specificity to God’s faithfulness, mercy, and engagement in the life of His people and in the life of His, working on being humble, servants. Soli Deo gloria!

“Mr. Jones, I had my itinerary laid out for today, and your book came in the mail. Guess what? I will have to do those things tomorrow because once I sit down to read it, I will read the entire book! I’m glad no one was watching or listening, as the book received belly laughs and a few tears to go with the laughs. Thanks for writing Power In The Clouds.”
