This is the story and riveting adventure of Daniel Olin Jones (1907-1986), a fisherman, singer, and praying country church deacon who practiced an ‘ole time religion that had a powerful impact on his family and the rural community in Northern Neck, Virginia. He overcame an impoverished early life, social and economic difficulties for a young Black man in the early 1900s in a small southern town, through systematic hard work, discipline, and tremendous faith. Notwithstanding a seventh grade formal education, Deacon Jones engaged in a continuous course of self-study—books, magazines, newspapers, pamphlets, religious conferences, etc. that were available during that time. He became a highly respected and beloved prayer-warrior who organized and spearheaded the Northern Neck Deacons Union in Virginia.
