    Great testimony of how a man can genuinely failed and be successful without allowing the success or failure to over shadow his love for Jesus. Truly blessed to have read this book and I will re-read it again as a reminder to prioritise that which is eternal. Only things done for the purpose of eternity will last.

    I graduated from Letourneau College and have never read Letourneau's biography until now. What an interesting story of an engineering mind that was focused on accomplishment and efficiency! God gave him unique abilities to accomplish technical advances and keep his life spiritually balanced at the same time. This was definitely a positive challenge for me as I have read and thought about what God has lined up for me to do.

    This autobiography tells the story of a man who founded the company that built over half the heavy duty bulldozers used in World War II.
