Part memoir, part inspirational, Jeff Deel’s From These Roots tells of his sometimes michievous childhood as the son of a holiness preacher and the change of heart and events that led him as an adult to work alongside his brother, ministering to the lost and forgotten people of Atlanta’s inner city. Through Jeff’s stories from his own past, along with those of the countless transformations he has witnessed at City of Refuge, readers will see how being a follower can be just as important as being a leader. Jeff Deel has lived in the shadow of his older brother, Bruce, for his entire life. He wouldn’t have had it any other way. While being the sons of a holiness preacher, they still found ways to get into their fair share of mischief, with older brother Bruce taking on the role of “leader”—for better or worse. Yet Jeff never questioned his place as his brother’s follower and supporter—for better or worse. Then came adulthood and Jeff’s turbulent search to find himself. Through a series of failed occupations and the desire to avoid ministry at all costs, Jeff was predictably led right back to his brother’s side. This time, instead of finding mischief, Jeff and Bruce worked together building the City of Refuge in Atlanta. Through their work, COR has welcomed thousands upon thousands of individuals who have found themselves in dire straits, whether as victims of abuse and sex trafficking, or as people whose own choices have thrust them to rock bottom. Jeff and Bruce have found their experience watching their parents minister to the least of these and teaching them what it means to offer a person dignity, love, and hope, prepared them more than they ever could have realized.

When God created man, He did so with the intention that man would live in perfect harmony with his Creator and with the rest of natural creation; however, mans disobedience fractured the relationship and opened the door for pain, heartache, disaster, and even death to enter the world. Gods original intention has not changedHe still desires that His children enjoy the fullness of all He has to offer. The Garden and the Ghetto is a collection of stories that illustrate the continued effects of obedience and disobedience, as well as essays that teach us how to return to a garden existence with the One who made us. Just as disobedience pushed mankind out of the perfect environment Father created for him, obedience is the key to once again living in a spiritual place where the abundance of His blessings are real every day. The stories are based on the lives of men and women with whom we have shared victories and defeats at City of Refuge through the years. Some have decided to live in a pattern of long obedience and continue to thrive. Some are still in the process of deciding which way to go, and others chose their own way. The results of the decisions made by Russell, Roxy, Shawn, Vanessa, Harold, Greg, and Dennis are representative of all of humanity. Some choose to rely on the words and pictures of God; others choose to believe they can make their own way. The results speak for themselves

Fasten your seatbelts as you take a hilarious and shocking journey through the minds of teenagers. Learn their views of history, geography, politics, and relationships among other things. Jeff Necessary places you front row and center for this amazing journey. You will laugh. You might cry. You might even wonder, how is this possible? The quotes in this book are hilarious. I hope nobody finds out which one is mine (Destiny Gorum, student). This is such a great book. It highlights a teenagers insight on the world through their eyes. This is a must-read, and you will not be able to put this book down. This book is just plain fun, coupled with high school students view of life. Training young minds is a tough job (Jessica Greene, guidance counselor, North Myrtle Beach High School). As a teacher, assistant principal, and principal for twenty plus years, I can easily relate to the student statements and questions contained in this book. Currently, as director of human resources, I can envision requiring all new teachers to read both the They Said What? books. Within these pages, Jeff Necessary provides a front row seat to the shocking reality of the modern classroom. Although these books will generate much laughter, I feel it imperative that new teachers know exactly what to expect when they enter their classrooms. Providing professional responses to the types of statements and questions in this book can sometimes be challenging. Thank you, Mr. Necesssary. I look forward to more books in the future (Jonathan D. Russ, director of human resources, Fredericksburg, Virginia, City Public Schools).
