Sophia, North Carolina – Country preacher Jerry R. Puckett invites readers into a soul-stirring journey of music, loss, and a heart transformed by Christ. In Music Led Me to a Heart Like Jesus, singer, songwriter, and preacher Jerry R. Puckett opens the doors to his life with unfiltered honesty and warmth. This powerful memoir weaves together the story of a small-town Southern boy whose life was shaped by church pews, humble living, family heartbreak, and above all, music rooted in a deep love for God.

Written in an inviting, conversational style, the book explores how Jerry’s gospel music became more than just melodies—it became his ministry, his healing, and the bridge that led him into a closer walk with Jesus.

Themes at the Heart of the Book:

  • A Spiritual Journey Through Music

    From early days singing with his Pa to performing on national gospel stages, Jerry reflects on how music helped him hear God more clearly—and how it became a lifelong calling to share hope through song. 
  • Faith That Grows Through Family and Heartbreak

    With tenderness and vulnerability, Jerry explores how love, grief, and forgiveness shaped his understanding of God’s mercy. Whether navigating deep personal loss or cherishing family traditions, his faith remained anchored in grace.

  • Living with a “Heart Like Jesus”

    More than a memoir, the book becomes a testimony—a call to live with compassion, humility, and a spirit of service. It’s a reminder that faith is not about perfection but about pursuing God, day by day, through joy and struggle alike.
