Please, Lord, Not in My Curlers

Dr. Bob Jones III served as president of Bob Jones University from 1971 to 2005. In this 194-page memoir—while including specific memories from his childhood growing up on campus and his days as a Bob Jones Academy and Bob Jones University student—he focuses primarily on the events of his presidency and the years that have followed.

Dr. Bob discusses how he felt about the responsibilities of the presidency, mentions several stalwarts of the faith who as university administrators stood by his side and helped with difficult and not-so-difficult issues, and the impact—both on the campus and internationally—of what the University accomplished under his leadership. He provides insight into those accomplishments which gave him great satisfaction along with personal heartaches along the way.

Also called of God to a preaching ministry, Dr. Bob relates many fascinating accounts of God’s faithful provision as he traveled the globe proclaiming the Gospel and interacted with God’s servants in other cultures. In addition, he clarifies some of his personal, as well as the University’s, theological positions.
