# Event Details

- **Event Name**: For the Love of Stephen: The Story of a Boy Who Was Never Broken
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 07 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: A true story of resilience and love.

“For the Love of Stephen is my debut memoir - a heartfelt, honest, and often humorous tribute to my remarkable brother, Steve. Born with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Steve defied society’s expectations and transformed every life he touched.

More than a family story, this book is a journey of love, resilience, and the unshakable truth that Steve was never broken. I wrote it for anyone who believes that every life has meaning, every voice deserves to be heard, and every story is worth remembering.”

Dr. Stuart D. Jones is a retired higher-education executive and former church minister who now teaches college courses part-time and writes with a passion shaped as much by life as by books. Over the years, he has spoken at many universities, churches, conferences, seminars, workshops, and leadership events around the world on a variety of topics. A devoted advocate for disability rights, he believes every life has purpose and worth.
​
Yet no credential has shaped him more deeply than being Steve’s brother.
​
Dr. Jones holds advanced degrees in both education and theology and has been published in several academic forums. For the Love of Stephen is his first work of narrative nonfiction - and by far, his most personal.

Join Dr. Stuart as he leads an interactive presentation about For The Love of Stephen, and selected readings from the book. There will be a meet and greet with the author along with a book sale and signing at the end of the program.
