Sayings That Saved My Sanity: Journey to Freedom

Jim Woodroof received his education in a wide variety of locations from small towns in Tennessee to the country of New Zealand. He earned a B.A. degree from David Lipscomb College (1955) and the M.A. from Harding Graduate School in Memphis, TN (1967). His ministry spans sixty years of preaching, teaching and writing. Gleanings from the latter years are presented in this book, *Sayings That Saved My Sanity*, originally issued under the title, *Famous Sayings of Jesus*. For Audio recordings of these and over 150 other presentations, visit jimwoodroof.com. "Mr. Woodroof explains the Beatitudes in a way that makes them easy to understand. After reading 'The Pure in Heart' I realize I have been guilty of wearing a mask my whole life. I can tell the mask has been off a lot more lately. Reading this book has helped me get through my time of incarceration." (Foster Sims, Inmate of East Ark. Dept. of Corrections) "This book dares the reader to stretch beyond a surface-level understanding to grasp deeper truths. Jim Woodroof is a serious student of the Bible and is an imaginative writer and preacher with ability to take a familiar text and offer fresh insights from it. Let him introduce you to *Sayings That Saved My Sanity*." (Noel Whitlock, minister with College Church, Searcy, AR) "I want to use this material in my jail classes, as I think it approaches life from a direction these inmates have never considered and gives new life and application to our culture. This is material that hits the heart at the center. I honestly think this book is needed: it concertizes the message of Jesus." (Harold Scott, Prison Chaplin, Oak Ridge, TN)
