Indelible Memories of Yesteryears R Kent Tipton

Few people walk this earth and forge deep, indelible footprints. R. Kent Tipton is among those few. A lifetime is a great and personal tapestry of work. But for Kent, that tapestry is about experiences over accomplishments. For Kent, life is something to learn from, to contemplate, and to discover hidden nuggets that might improve one's character. With Indelible Memories of Yesteryears, Kent unearths meaning in those experiences both large and small: the endearing kindness of a second-grade teacher, the insufferable cruelty of adult 'customers' on a paper route, the worth of honest labor, and the value of a dollar while growing up poor. Through stories, letters, and journal entries, Kent also opens up on humility, gratitude, adversity, self-reliance, patriotism, faith, his family, and an unfiltered take on many things that just plain bug him. Readers will also find a number of humorous experiences and observations that help weave together an amazing portrait of an indelible man. Throughout his life, Kent was enthralled by great literature. Here, for the first time, readers will find his coveted list of 100 great books - exclusively in this volume. Indelible Memories of Yesteryears will remind readers to carry on, never give up, grow spiritually and intellectually, remain faithful, learn from our experiences, love, laugh, and live life to its fullest each and every day.
