This episode and the book “I Could Have Been One” are part history lessons and part biography, so my reading experience was different.
After reading “I Could Have Been One,” by Navy veteran and author Donald Jeffries, I had questions. These ranged from what our country was like to what it may become.
Jeffries shares his military experiences, reflections on socialism and communism, and his return to the Christian faith. The discussion covers historical events like the Maddox incident, the impact of political ideologies on society, and the suppression of religious groups in communist regimes.
Donald emphasizes the importance of understanding history to grasp current political climates. The episode aims to educate listeners on these complex topics through Jeffries' unique insights.
You can purchase “I Could Have Been One” from Amazon (https://a.co/d/6QzftbD).
Thank you for talking with me, Donald!
