Ratings and reviews

This book delivers a great spiritual message wrapped around an easy to read story of a driven businessman. It shows success is not how many hours you put in but how many lives you change.

I enjoyed it so much I read it twice in a week. It gives you a deeper heart to love, serve and care for others. The Carpenter to me made me think of Jesus because he was a Carpenter. I would recommend it to anyone that has a heart for serving others. Great book

I read the sample chapter and I have listened to Jon's life story. He is leaving and breathing the mindset that He writes about. This will be my next soft purchase, I have been struggling to get the hard copy.
