Never Give Up (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798985081121)

Coming from the cotton patches of Oklahoma, E.Z. Jones wanted to get as far away from poverty as he could. After a stint in the Marines and dashed hopes for a career in pro football, he ended up building apartment projects all over south Texas. Ownership in two major sports teams capped off his success, bringing him both fame and name recognition at a young age.

At the height of his notoriety, a sudden turn of events catapulted E.Z. into a whole new life that was different from anything he could have ever imagined. From hobnobbing with celebrities in his forties to visiting leper colonies in India and skydiving in his seventies, you will be inspired by this "rags to riches to rags" story that is followed by amazing redemption.

The Houston Business Journal once ran a front-page article entitled "The Saga of E.Z. Jones", but there is so much more to the story. Get a first-hand glimpse into a life "lived to the full" by a man who put his faith in God and started investing in the lives of people. You will be inspired and encouraged not to settle for normal and never to give up, because while some things are fleeting, others will last forever.
