"Tinkling the ivories will get you nowhere, Jones."
From an uncertain start in Birmingham´s inner city, to composer of over twenty Christian cantatas, this biography traces the story of the life and ministry of Roger Jones, musical man. It recounts his humble beginnings in Secondary Modern Education, his transition from teacher to full–time ministry and examines the growth and development of his organisation, Christian Music Ministries.
Graham Allan, of Penrith Methodist Church, Cumbria, has been working on this project since the ROCK finale in the Symphony Hall, Birmingham in 2009. Based on extensive research and interviews, this book demonstrates that reliance on talents and skills alone is not enough. Without the support of friends and family, and above all the guidance and help of God´s Holy Spirit, Roger´s story could have been so different.
