CLARENCE JORDAN : Turning Dreams into Deeds
Barnette, Henlee H.
Smyth & Helwys, 1992
107 pages

This tribute to Jordan suffers from unevenness. Jordan is known and respected for his Cotton Patch Version of the New Testament and the founding of the experimental interracial Koinonia Farms community, which gave birth to Habitat For Humanity. The author obviously admires Jordan, but the collection of materials is too eclectic: two Jordan lectures, some correspondence, several personal reflections by several friends and an all-too-brief sketch of the subject’s life. Jordan’s rich faith and life as a pioneer in economic stewardship and racial reconciliation is addressed only minimally.
