The Harvest: Finding the Best A. Jack Jernigan

Jack Jernigan had three retirement goals in 1979 at age 58: to serve part time as a psychologist; to increase time in Bible study; and to write the biography of his colorful yet tragic great-uncle, Albert Jernigan. In 1982, an exciting fourth goal was added: to homestead 17 acres of land that his wife Jean had inherited from her parents, a move that marked Jack and Jean?s return to their rural roots. Jack not only wrote and self-published Albert?s Hidden Treasure, he completed a trilogy of memoirs. Selecting the Best tells the story of his experiences in the Army Air Corps during WWII, and Seeking the Best covers his years as a psychologist with the Veterans Administration. The Harvest gives a detailed account of Jack?s retirement years, with special emphasis on his personal spiritual journey as a dedicated Christian.
