Honest, thoughtful and thought-provoking

I have known Bill Turner for over 20 years. His personal kindness has never ceased to amaze me, and in this deeply moving book, I now understand the roots of someone who could make a group of teens struggling with growing pains feel secure. Bill made it possible for us to accept each other, and I imagine his professional relationships are the same. I recommend this book wholeheartedly to anyone looking to bring respect into the workplace, or to anyone looking to improve relationships - with family, friends, youth, coworkers, employees, and the Lord.

A Guide for Business and a Guide for Life

This book by Mr. Turner is a must read for anyone in business, especially anyone in a leadership or management position who desires to know more about the art of leading people. A wonderfully organized book, including a reflective piece at the end of each chapter with passing thoughts for further contemplation. A rare treat hidden at the end of Chapter 2 gives the reader a unique look at some of the thoughts handed down by Bill Turner's grandfather, Mr. William Clark Bradley. These nuggets alone are worth the price of the book. I'm sure I have heard many of these maxims quoted over the years. Admittedly, some surprised me with the wisdom contained. Mr. Bill Turner is an artist who paints before the reader's eyes a portrait - a deeply moving family portrait that is intensely personal. One has the feeling they have been invited into the Turner home, given a cup of tea or a cold Coca-Cola, and handed the family scrapbook. The value of the book goes far beyond the warm and personal reflections, and even the important historical content. The book is woven with Mr. Turner's values. It lets us look at the heart of an executive who has lived his life under the guiding principle of love. His relationships, both business and personal are a set of luminaries in a dark night, showing us the way to better personal relations, and more effective leadership. I learned a lot about a servant's heart from Mr. Turner. Moreover, I have used, and will continue to use, the principles he teaches in this book to become a better manager and steward in my business life and a better man in my personal life. This book belongs in the personal library of every man who leads people. My prayer is that it will also find its way into many school libraries. This book will not disappoint. It is a great read, warmly written and containing very valuable insight.
