This book is a real story of how one black girl of many grew up in a segregated Mississippi town. It could have been in any of the Southern States, but hers was Mississippi, where cotton was the money-making commodity and where cotton was grown in the state for the White man by the Black sharecroppers. I write this story so that this generation may know how they got to where they are now. Some of them only get bits and pieces of their grandmothers and grandfathers' journey from the cotton fields, tobacco fields, beans, cabbages, or wherever field they were planted to the place where they are now. This is their story. Read it, talk about it with your family, and share it with your friends. Yes, there are going to be challenges and obstacles along your life journey; but don't stop, keep hope alive, pray and keep the faith, and never give up on your dreams.

As a thirteen year old boy on an East Texas farm, Fred M. Allen read a book about explorer/missionary David Livingstone and was mesmerized. Many years later, he stood at the edge of the mighty Victoria Falls and gazed upon a statue of Livingstone. By then, Allen had spent a lifetime in service for the Lord. From Cotton Fields to Mission Fields reveals the experiences that led Allen to make it his mission to spread God’s Word, beginning with his boyhood in Texas and extending to his decades of work as a missionary in Zambia. Allen began writing his stories for family and friends but realized how much his words could inspire others, after being given a column in a weekly newspaper. Then his brother, Duane Allen of the musical group “The Oak Ridge Boys,” offered to share his stories on social media. Over and over, people asked, “Are these stories in a book?” In this inspiring Christian memoir, Allen looks back on his life, collecting those stories in one place. His experiences highlight the importance of faith, hard work, and walking the path that God intended.

"From Cotton Fields to Mission Fields is a compelling and inspiring memoir about Anna Knight, a mixed-race woman who was born in the beginning of post-abolition America and whose life was dedicated to education and to her faith throughout her life. Accomplishing what others could not with so little, this woman of courage and determination, too white to be black and too black to be white, stood up against the moonshiners who threatened her."--Page 4 cover

This story is without a doubt inspired by God based upon (Jer. 1:5; Eccl. 3:1-8; Rom. 8:28). God inspired me and convinced me that my life is an open book, that he wants me to share with the world. Moreover, I am compelled to be a witness to all the world that God is a specialist in all things. I am compelled to convince and persuade people that there is more to their life than what others' say. God has always had a plan for us, but sometimes it takes someone who has experienced a miraculous transformation to be a witness of that. From the Cotton Field to the Pulpit is a biography of a young man with a rich cotton field mentality that manifests into a spiritual pulpit mentality. Moreover, this is God's plan to bring glory unto himself. In addition, it is designed to inspire and influence others that God is a specialist and a miracle worker. You just have to trust him (Prov. 3:5-6) that great is his faithfulness (Lam. 3:21-23). It is my prayer that someone is inspired and will not give up or throw in the towel without giving God a try at your life. Moreover, all of our lives have meaning and purpose; we just need someone to help us find our purpose and reason, and that person is God (Matt. 19:26). With much love, Rev. Dr. Albert Joe Harris Jr.
