Publisher's Synopsis
"El Segundo" is the compelling life story of Pastor James Newton's struggle and perseverance to break the bonds of repression and poverty, and find prosperity through a family tradition of faith and God's Grace. Set in the racially and socially divided cotton fields of Mississippi's Deep Slough, El Segundo shines an uncomfortable spotlight on the systemic oppression of the King Cotton Land Owners, the suffering of the people under these cruel conditions, and the "Secret" blessings of the Brush Arbor that were passed from generation to generation. Pastor Newton has told about his amazing journey millions evangelizing in over 17 countries all over the world. Collaborating with the writing talents of Dr. Dana W. Matthews, a retired Lieutenant Colonel and former U.S. Army Ranger, and an accomplished journalist in his own right, El Segundo immerses the reader from the first Chapter to the book's last line. "El Segundo" is a must read for those who love American history, who love family, and who love God.
