Publisher Description
From Homeless Drug Addict to Multimillionaire…
Proof that in today’s frenetic world, there is still hope
By the time he was 24 Bob Williamson was already a violent criminal with a prison record and a .357 Magnum; he’d been kicked out of the military as a diagnosed sociopath; he was helplessly addicted to methamphetamine and heroin; he’d been an alcoholic since his teens and had gone through a nasty divorce; his family had given up on him; he was homeless, penniless, and didn’t have a single friend; he didn’t believe in God and was as mean and vicious as a rabid dog. He was all alone, mired in abject squalor. By all rights he should be locked away somewhere for the rest of his life, or more likely dead, buried, and forgotten.
He reached the point where he felt that suicide was his only viable option and he was ready and willing to pull the trigger, but then a horrific car accident and a chance encounter with a merciful nurse helped change his life. He learned a trade, started a business, and virtually overnight accumulated a small fortune and achieved what he believed to be the absolute pinnacle of success; but the sudden mountain of cash triggered an avalanche of new problems and soon he was overwhelmed with temptation, arrogance, and sheer lust for more of everything. He was addicted to a new drug – money, but again miraculously overcame his addictions and is no longer a slave to the “flash and the cash”, the pride of life, and the lust for unadulterated power.
Today, Bob Williamson has been happily married to the woman of his dreams for 40 years. They’ve been blessed with three successful sons and seven grandchildren. He has friends all over the world who call him “a pillar of society.” He’s received numerous awards and accolades, and recently sold one of the 12 successful companies he founded for $75 million.
This book reveals how one man overcame adversity and found unwavering hope and, ultimately, gentle peace.
More important, it will guide you to the same place.

Amazing
Great read and very inspirational! I live close to Honey Lake Plantation so it was very cool to read the life and lessons of the owner.
Inspirational
I was privileged to have the chance to hear Bob Williamson speak at a commencement ceremony last Spring when he mentioned his book coming out in the Fall. By far, his message to the new graduates was the most inspiring I've ever heard, and I've been to hundreds of graduation ceremonies in my life.
After waiting and searching online for his book for months afterwards I was exhilarated when I finally found it. I read it front to back in 2 sittings in 36 hours. This might be the most realistically moving and motivational book I have ever read. His message is powerful, motivational, and real, and I've always been one to be a bit anti-establishment and anti-organized religion. Bless you, Bob Williamson for being honest with your story and having the fortitude to share it with the world. You've made a difference in yet another person's life.
