Publisher's Synopsis
Hardships, injustice, and abuse can leave us crippled, or they can leave us more determined than ever to thrive.
Ira Combs, Jr. grew up in the poverty stricken city of Westland, Michigan. Between racial injustice, a pervasive drug culture, and a complex relationship with an abusive father, Ira had plenty of excuses to become trapped and bitter.
He chose a different path.
The founder and pastor of Greater Bible Way Temple Church in Jackson, Michigan, Bishop Combs has spent his life changing the face of faith-based community service, mental health, state politics, and national policies.
From suffering injustices as a child, to becoming a sought-after counselor to politicians and presidents, the journey of Bishop Ira Combs is an inspiring story of resilience and success.
