The Teflon Rhino

The first rule of living in the jungle of real life is you have to survive, which means staying off the lunch menu.  The rhinoceros is a great example.  It lives in contented solitude that does not completely exclude, but selects its companions carefully. It does not rely on the herd for protection.  It is not the fastest, strongest, tallest or smartest animal in the wild. It stays off the lunch menu due to its protective skin that is over one-half inch thick.  Teflon is a slick coating that has transformed the world due to its nonstick properties, thus The Teflon Rhino. The rhino’s skin is slick and thick.  It is not swayed by the crowd, coerced by opinion, or motivated by popularity. It does not flinch in the face of adversity or succumb to the fear of the unknown. This book was written as a survival manual learned over six decades of life and ministry to help navigate you through the trials, heartaches, adversity and attacks that real life will bring into your jungle.
