Customer Reviews

Great biography of a great Christian man

Carole Joy Seid recommended this product - she says that we all need heroes and this man is a hero! Easy to read and inspiring for those of us who have aspirations

A religious man who was not ashamed to make money!

Henry P. Crowell could make money just as easy as you and I can chew gum! You've probably never heard of this fine gentleman, but I know you are familiar with the company he helped make into a conglomerate. "QUAKER OATS." Mr. Crowell had a profound faith in God. He put his life into God's hands and just followed where God took him. If you are in business and you believe in God you will enjoy this book. There is very little out there about him, so get it here and enjoy!

Inspiritonal and challenging to those whom God has prospered

This biography of Henry Crowell is an easy read with a profound message for those of us whom God has prospered. The picture of the late 1800s and early 20th century are both interesting and enlightning. The testimony of his life and sucess in several arenas, while maintaining a humble stature, should be an encouragement to all.
