The Middle Of Nowhere
Description
Over 30 years as an internationally-acclaimed songwriter and worship leader, Dennis Jernigan has seen the world and led untold thousands of believers to lift up the name of Jesus in praise. His songs are sung by churches across the planet. In "The Middle of Nowhere," Jernigan, for the first time in print, tells the whole story of how deliverance from same-sex attraction launched both his career and a life of hardship. Decades of threats to his ministry and his family. Friends falling away. Crushing personal losses. And now, Parkinson's disease. Through it all, Jernigan has come to know without a doubt that Jesus loves him, knows him intimately, sings over him, and walks with him...even in the middle of nowhere.
