Publisher's Synopsis
There has never been a motivational book like Turning To into For. Based on the author's philosophy that the most important of life's lessons are preceded by a test, the book is composed of two parts: the test and the lesson. The test: the autobiographical first part is the riveting story of a boy who was abandoned as a toddler and left to grow up in an abusive foster home where he was abused, molested, and encouraged to steal until at age nine, when he was given a gun and taken under the wings of the neighborhood gang leader. The lesson: the second part will empower the reader as the author shares the life's lessons, born of unimaginable pain and suffering, which enabled him to, with only a ninth grade education, become an international computer consultant. Inspired to teach the principles that enabled him to escape becoming a tragic statistic, he abandoned a very lucrative career, founded a nonprofit organization, and became an internationally renowned educator, recognized, among other honors, by the George W. Bush White House for his work with at-risk and underprivileged populations. The power of these lessons was called on once again when in 2014 cancer struck. Through treatment and faith, the cancer was eradicated, but the author was left paralyzed from the waist down. The amazing result of what could have ended in tragedy was the reemergence of one of America's most dynamic motivational speakers. Turning To Into For will inspire you, empower you, and teach you the principles of what the author has demonstrated, by way of his remarkable life, that which will help you to overcome the obstacles that cause so many of us to fail. The concepts and strategies in this work will strengthen you and help you to develop a powerful, relentless mental attitude that refuses to accept defeat. "I never lose. I either win or learn, but I never ever lose."
