Phil Jones, Jr., an author, coach, and ministry leader, launches his new book 'Captain,' a 72-day action plan designed to help readers develop self-leadership, strengthen habits, and live with purpose.

Phil Jones, Jr., an author, coach, and ministry leader based in Magnolia, Texas, has announced the release of his new book, Captain: 72 Days to Unlock Your Inner Superhero. The book, published by Lucid Books, offers readers a structured 72-day roadmap aimed at fostering self-leadership, improving daily habits, and living with intentional purpose.
According to Jones, Captain is more than a motivational read; it serves as a daily action plan. Each day presents readers with a choice: Seize or Relinquish. Through consistent action and reflection, readers are guided on a transformational journey to become the captain of their own lives. “Captain is a plan,” Jones said. “If someone follows it for 72 days, I truly believe they cannot help but get results.”
The book challenges readers to take ownership of their decisions, sharpen their vision, build resilience, and embrace the courage necessary for lasting change. By the end of the journey, readers will have developed practical tools to lead themselves more effectively in all areas of life. “Today is the best day of your life,” Jones said. “Change is possible, one day at a time.”
Jones’s background includes experience in financial planning and pastoral ministry. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from Sam Houston State University and a Master of Divinity from Liberty University. His decades of leadership experience inform a grounded perspective on personal growth, resilience, and legacy.
Becoming a published author fulfills a long-held dream for Jones. “I have dreamed of writing a book for years and felt like this is what I was supposed to do,” he shared. His passion for writing began in fourth grade when his class published a poetry book. “That was the first time I realized I loved writing,” he said.
Jones faced challenges in putting himself out there but drew inspiration from author Og Mandino. He credits a disciplined routine he calls “Bach O’Clock,” where he goes to his office at the same time daily and listens to Bach, as a strategy to overcome writer’s block. He describes his writing journey as relentless, disciplined, and transformational.
Captain is an ideal resource for those seeking personal growth and leadership development. Jones advises aspiring authors simply to “Decide, and do it.” Outside writing, Jones enjoys working out, reading, sports, traveling, and time with family. He and his wife, Sarah, have been married since 2011 and have four children and two French bulldogs, residing in Willis, Texas.
