Dan Jones
Medical Missionary

Praise

“Dr. Dan Jones reflects on the choices he made at milestone moments as University of Mississippi chancellor, medical school dean, physician, missionary, and family member. Although drawn from a high-profile life, the story matters because of the universality readers feel in an account of having to choose between the easy choice and the right one.”

—Ellen Ann Fentress, author of The Steps We Take: A Memoir of Southern Reckoning

“The experiences shared in this book could easily encompass more than one lifetime. Despite working closing with Dr. Dan Jones over decades, I was impressed with the vigor of his enduring commitment to his calling as a missionary.  Everything else in his life pales compared to that singular focus.  I have known Dan to be a physician, a scientist, a mentor, a teacher, a leader, and a friend but the consistent thread through this book tells us that he views himself a minister and a missionary trying to right the wrongs of our world as he travels through the days and years.”  

—LouAnn Woodward, Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs and Dean of the School of Medicine at University of Mississippi Medical Center
