Only in America: 101 Stories from George Johnson's American Journey - Softcover

Only in America can some stories be told. This is the collected stories of an African-American man born, molded, manufactured, assembled, and rolled off the assembly line into the rough, urban American wilderness. George Johnson's life was endowed with greatness that had to have layers of dust and dirt knocked off of it before it could shine as an American star. In this series of short stories, George tells the stories of ordinary people doing mostly ordinary things. As a result of their efforts, they changed the lives of people around them and the course and directions in their own lives. These stories became the communications, faith, and relationships that moved a Negro child from a two-room, cold-water flat on Chicago's South Side to the segregated schools of Florida and eventually around the world. Only In America will inspire its readers of all ages, genders, and economic backgrounds to reflect on their own stories and see the value in the lives they are living. The book is about faith and relationships that are the cornerstones to overcoming obstacles and challenges that are inevitable parts of life's journey. Join George as he discovers what is most important in life. 'With a very human style, George touches our hearts and gives us hope for a brighter future.'
