The book I ordered was in excellent condition, and
arrived quickly. It was highly recommended by
several men at our local coffee club. It tells the
story of an ordinary man of strong character, a
model and an inspiration.

Excellent tribute to an exceptional man
This is a inspiring book about not only a man but a community ravaged by an F5 tornado. Ed Thomas' vision, determination and dedication to his students, his team, his community and his family-driven by his faith and trust in God-quietly and humbly, letting action speak rather than words, brought hope and healing to a devasted community. So many leassons to be learned from this book.
