From the very first day I became a Christian deep down I knew the answer to three questions. 1. Where did I come from? 2. Where am I going? 3. Why am I here? That inner knowing of the answers to these three perplexing questions propelled me into the world of ‘fishing for men’. This little book, Gone Fishin’, is now in its third printing and has been used to bless and encourage those struggling with ‘how to reach people with the good news of the Gospel’. It has brought hope and salvation to those who were sinking into an abyss of despair. I’m just an ordinary person who strives to be in tune with an extraordinary God. Just as Peter and John were considered unlearned and ignorant fishermen, I have qualified to fish for souls, in spite of my ignorance, because of Jesus. My credentials are nothing to brag about, but I know I have bragging rights about the Savior who rescued me. In these chapters you will find people just like the ones you rub shoulders with every day. In my case I owned a small real estate company in rural Georgia and God turned it into a soul-saving station. You will read accounts of professionals who, under their sophisticated facades, were bankrupt and miserable. You’ll discover how they learned the true meaning of life and how they became more successful than they ever dreamed. You’ll also read about those who were living deviant lifestyles, not realizing God had a better plan for them; a plan that included freedom from sin. You’ll drive down a rutted road with me and see Ted who had been living in an abandoned bus. Then you’ll ride with me to a truck stop and wait with me while Ted takes a shower, his first one in six months. You’ll see how God’s love poured out to him and others and brought them to salvation. Fishing for souls is the most exciting vocation a person can have. It’s a job you won’t find advertised on a computer employment site, or in a classified ad in your local newspaper; yet it is a vocation you can couple with any other job you have. In my case it was a man who owned a pest control company who brought my whole family to Christ. He actually began telling my family about Jesus while he was spraying for black widow spiders! Fishing for men is a command of our Savior, yet so few do it today. Most Christians seem to feel it’s the preacher’s job to go out and evangelize the lost. Evangelism is something we read about, but few ever become personally involved. Is it any wonder that today we are losing the battle for the souls of men? By leaving this all important work to a few professional preachers and a handful of TV evangelists we are missing the point of what Jesus has called us to do. Whether you’re a housewife, a garbage collector, a doctor or a teacher, God has called you (and me) to be fishers of men. This is not the work of only a select few. Every person, who calls themselves by the name of Jesus Christ, has a mandate to preach the Gospel. “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:14-15 (KJV) Take time to read these adventures in soul winning. Try reading just one story each day. Soon, you too will be on your way to becoming a fisher of men.

What you will read on these pages is the JUST JERRI column which has been found weekly for many years in Central Georgia Newspapers - here's a sample from the Preface of the book - again, these are real life stories and experiences from the pen of Jerri Tuck:In 1997 my precious husband decided to make a run for the office of Bleckley County Commissioner. The current commissioner was retiring and this was a special election. I was so proud of him and I knew he would do a fantastic job if elected. Charlie had been the Bleckley County Tax Assessor for the past five years and also had initiated the first Bleckley County Building Code in our community. There was no doubt that Charlie knew the county inside and out. Who better to help our county?As his wife, I was determined to back him with everything in me. In fact, our whole family got caught up in the 1997 special election and we were his biggest fans and sup-porters.In addition to running ads and wearing tee-shirts advertising, “Charlie Tuck for Bleckley County Commissioner,” we also had signs printed up, which I personally installed around the county at strategic intersections.Not just trusting in our physical efforts, I took to my knees in fervent prayer. Every Monday I devoted myself to fasting and praying for God’s will in the election.*While in prayer one day I heard a voice saying, “Judy Sherling (editor of our local newspaper, The Cochran Journal) is going to ask you to write a weekly column and you’re to tell her yes!” What???That had nothing to do with the price of tea in China and I was absolutely sure that, either I made up that thought, or the devil put it into my head. I promptly discarded that thought, saying to myself, “Where did that come from? I’m too busy to write a weekly column!”About a week later I walked into the newspaper office to bring an ad for Charlie’s election campaign. I had spoken just a few minutes to the receptionist, when running breathlessly from the newsroom into the reception area, came Judy!“Jerri,” she said with a big smile, “How about writing a weekly column for the paper?”You guessed it. With my jaw dropping, I looked at her and said, “Sure!” What else could I say? I can tell you I walked out of that office absolutely stunned. The exact words that God told me, Judy would say to me; she had just spoken!Thus, began the 20 years of me writing the Just Jerri column for both the Cochran Journal and the Twiggs New Era. It has been a great journey and has been a source of amazement to me personally, that the Lord gives me ideas every week about what I am to write.A few years ago, Charlie started encouraging me to compile some of these weekly columns into a book. His thought was that these articles would not only preserve some of the best Just Jerri articles for posterity, but would also encourage readers if it was in a weekly devotional format. The 52 Just Jerri columns, one for every week of the year, are followed by daily Scriptures pertinent to each article with declarations we can make to encourage each of us in our Christian lives. It is my prayer that these stories and Scriptures will help you enjoy a life of victory and abundance in every situation you may be facing. *Oh, by the way. God did have His will accomplished, just as we prayed. Charlie did NOT win the election. I guess you figured out, just like I did; no one is going to vote for the tax man!Jerri TuckCochran, Georgia

Just Jerri

Jerri Tuck takes us through a "prayer journey" which never ends--if you don't believe that God exists--that He's real--you will by the time you get through the pen of this most ready writer believe He does. From Hell's Angel to "Flaming Evangelist" - Jerri Tuck's life is, well, you could say "miraculously normal." Christ is so real to her in the biggest and most outrageous situations to the incredibly mundane and what appears as minuscule. She walks and talks with Jesus through her writing--and to her the Lord is so very real.No, you won't be disappointed - just as Jesus expounded the Scripture to the two on the Road to Emmaus from Moses, including the Prophets, to the point that these two had "heart issues"--their "hearts burned within them" as the Lord conversed with them, engaged them from His Word. Sure, He knew about all the "happenings" in Jerusalem--hardly oblivious since He was the very center of those things which had brought these two disciples into despair--eventually, their eyes were opened in the breaking of bread . . . and that's what prayer is all about. You will not tire of EVERYTHING BY PRAYER because each page is full of excitement and surprise as the conversation with the Master integrates into virtually every facet of Jerri's life. This is where you can see yourself coming out of your anxiety and discouragement no matter how dismal life's journey may be. It's somewhat amazing that one life could have experienced everything that Jerri Tuck has endured as she again and again triumphs in His grace. No kidding--life is NOT a bed of roses. It sure hasn't been for Jerri. Her blended family of nine children while hubby Charlie and she both had to work nigh full-time in order to support the brood. Not easy--and, quite frankly, impossible . . . but God kept providing and giving answers to one prayer after another.No, as you begin to rifle through these pages you will experience more than an objective "that was great for Jerri, but me?" Yes, YOU can experience the same living God in Jesus who will take your journey to Emmaus and turn your despair into a burning heart that will set ablaze all your anxiety, worry, fear by His Living Word which will set you free indeed!Sincerely, you're not going to want to put this book down. It's an easy read--fast and conclusive . . . it's a race to see how God longs to inject Himself into one situation after another and then to reveal Himself as the real and satisfying solution to the perplexity of the moment. Jerri's journey takes her around the world from India to Nigeria to Latin America and the Middle East--from one prison to another. She appears to be fearless--a boldness which many describe as unique; yet, behind that smile and unending courage is a little child ministering the simplicity of Christ to countless souls--from her days with Child Evangelism Fellowship to her seemingly endless quest to have the world involved in the Bible Reading Marathon...she just won't quit. Then there's Charlie--what a hubby is he! Trust me, Charlie's no wimp, no push over. Charlie's like the booster rocket launching Jerri into the fray--you might say he "weaponizes" the woman of his dreams. What a pair--UNITED TO FIGHT FOR JESUS...that's all you can say. It works! I only wish you could live a couple of days with Jerri--you'd never be the same. How is it that this little child just keeps on believing her Father is apt to give her "good gifts" because He's her daddy and cares so much for His little girl. Is there any wonder it was the children who sang Hosannas to the King in the Temple on that Palm Sunday . . . they knew Who He was. Jerri knows Him--and she wants you to know the same one the children declared on that Triumphal Day. May God bless you greatly as you discover EVERYTHING BY PRAYER . . . you won't want to put this down . . . you will turn to Him who wants to talk about it with YOU! God bless.
