Alma L. Jones

“Alma L. Carr-Jones, born in Memphis, TN to Lula M. Carr, a preacher’s daughter, says that she never thought to live in times such as these Covid-19 times, and that she never dreamed that her words would be used to give the masses hope in such times. She makes her home in McKenzie, TN, living out her life's motto of, "Doing What I Can, While I Can with Care." Alma is a retired educator, and minister's wife who has been spoken of by her former colleagues and church members alike, as "having a heart of gold." Since she has retired from teaching, she says that to breathe is to write, cook, and crochet. Though she can write whatever is asked of her, she prefers to write words of encouragement for mankind and words of praise and thanks to the Lord for His love of mankind. Alma is a successful author who has produced 12 books to date, the latest of which is Excelsior, poetry of praise and inspiration. Most of her books are available as audio books. Alma attributes all that she has accomplished to GOD, and this belief is reflected in the silver medallion that she wears around her neck. Through her work as an author/poet, Alma says that she is proclaiming her love for GOD, His love for mankind, and her love for her fellowman by shouting from “the tallest mountain in her world.” Since she is a firm believer in Isaiah 50:4, Alma infuses hope and encouragement in her work.
