When I was a teenager, many told me to read this. Now 20 years later I finally did. This book is inspirational in many ways, but one way particularly, R.G. trust God with everything he had and God choose him to move mountains.

An amazing story of a fascinating man whose huge machines changed life and times

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

His belief in God and the empowerment he felt when working on God’s side and with God’s blessing allowed the construction of huge and innovative machines to tame the harshest land, jungle, and desert. The job was never to big. The real problem was the need for bigger machines. He was an amazing man and great leader who was frequently self-conscious about speaking to groups. A superb recounting of a truly unique man and his machines. Well worth the time

God at work in the life of a businessman

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book is excellent, and I recommend it highly.
It is worth reading more than once, because one would then be able to go back to the beginning and see how the Lord led him one step at a time to provide him with the experience and knowledge he would need to take the next step He had planned for him. For example, once he was thriving in a job at a steel mill and learning about metal machining from an old German journeyman -- until one night the mill burned down, leaving him without a job. Working at a navy yard introduced him to electric motors on ships. Working at a battery plant taught him how to weld. Financial mismanagement by a partner while he was working in the navy yard caused him to move on to repair earth moving equipment, and then to a request for him to drive that equipment to show that it would work for a while without breaking down. Doing this, he noticed improvements that could be made to the equipment so that more dirt could be hauled by fewer workers in less time. This cycle repeated over and over again. The story would make a great Sunday School lesson on how God can lead us through various difficulties for a purpose that He has in mind but that we cannot yet see.
I haven't mentioned how he got involved in public speaking by a guy who thought he couldn't do anything of the sort -- and who seemingly had no time for such things. I'll leave that part for the reader to discover how the Lord provided both the ability to speak and simultaneously and unexpectedly provided Mr. LeTourneau with many of his most productive, creative hours.
Reading this book has been an inspiration to me, and I'm sure to many others.

There are so many great lessons woven in with stories of adventure

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

We are absolutely loving this book. We are reading it aloud as a family. My husband, myself and 3 teenage boys. There are so many great lessons woven in with stories of adventure, success, failures, and how he gained knowledge through each different twist and turn his life took. We have several people in line to borrow this book after we are finished.
I love how he admits his failures and mistakes, but then shows how it taught him a great life lesson. He also shares his thought processes and my boys have been able to identify with some of the feelings he expressed at the different ages of his life. They learn how he took a path and realized it wasn't the right way. They are things that many young men face as they grow up. I can see that it is helping my boys learn from his mistakes so they don't have to make the same mistakes.
It also is a great way to learn about history in the early 1900's because you see how differently they handled things like child labor, safety (or lack thereof) in the workplace, work lines for so many unemployed men who were all competing for one job. You see how one little bit of knowledge set him above the others and he got the job that so many others wanted. It's showing my boys how to seek for knowledge and continue learning so you will have the edge. Also, lessons of the rewards achieved from hard work and the doors it opens up.
We are only part way in to the book and have already gained so much. Can't wait for the rest....

Great read for any Christian businessman

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought the kindle version of this book and just wanted a physical book, print lettering is a bit small, but still a great book. Getting hold of books by real life businessmen with strong Christian values who are not directly involved with ministry is not common, this is a good one for anyone that falls in that category, very inspiring on a motivational and spiritual level. GOD can make anyone into anything irrespective of your level of skill, education or expertise, inspiration that comes from above is always above all. Great read!

The testimony of R.G LeTourneau is a prophecy that even In this 21st century, our simple decision to put God first, and his kingdom before everything else will take us to places with God that will leave the world wondering how we got there. I recommend this book to anyone who desires to understand how to walk in the purpose God has Called them to, whether it is as an Entrepreneur, a stay home parent, or a professional in any field, the same principles apply, Once God is put first and He is glorified, we become instruments of wonder that He will use to save humanity through Christ Jesus in us.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

While reading this book, I felt like I was holding the writer's hand as he told his story. R.G. LeTourneau's life is an example of what an impact on the world a man can have when he submits himself to the creator of the universe. Like all great men now known, the beginnings rarely declare what the future holds, so to LeTourneau, from the farms and odd jobs to providing mechanical innovations that were greatly needed to meet the then pressing requirements of society, and a legacy that still continues in the hearts and lives of many today.
