10 Bits of Wisdom from the Shoe Shine Guy
Author:
John Early
Genre:
Spiritual / Inspirational
John Early worked in
the corporate world for over 25 years. From the outside looking in,
it seemed as though he had it all: the beautiful family, the
magnificent home, the nice cars and great vacations, the fabulous
income with the big 401k. He had what most would consider the
American Dream. This was John's idea of a dream, and this dream was
all about him. Then suddenly, in an instant, like the Apostle Paul on
the road to Damascus, John had an encounter with God that transformed
his life forever. John takes the reader through that transformation
and the total impact it had on not only his life, but on the lives of
those around him, especially those closest to him-his wife and
children. He lays out the 10 key bits of wisdom that were
instrumental in reconciling and rebuilding those broken
relationships. His road on this journey is paved with: Knowing your
purpose, Character, Attitude, Goals, Teamwork and Trust, Respect,
Courage, Regrets, Reconciliation, and Grace. This book shows all of
us, no matter our circumstances or how dark our days may seem, that
God is brighter still. Let God start to transform your life.
