This Is My Song: Jars of Clay Chronicles

by Lanvester Jackson

Overview

By all accounts I should be in a mental hospital. If not for my gift of ministry through music, I would be. Raised with an indifferent, alcoholic and often cruel father, I was fed insults and put downs, yet there were glimpses of love. I not only struggled with my sexual orientation, but my worth as a person. This is my song of self discovery and ultimately, forgiveness.
