Up From Ashes

“Jack’s book “UP FROM ASHES” is much more than a business person’s recovery from unfortunate circumstances.  It is an account of a Christ filled life leading to a true relationship with the Lord. Jack is a shining example of relying on faith to guide one’s life in all circumstances.”

“Thanks so much for letting me read your book (autobiography)! I learned so much about you and Jann and it was just a joy & privilege to read! “An inspiring read! With all of life’s hard-knocks here’s the story of one man who just wouldn’t stay down. You’ll get a new outlook on life!”

For readers who have questioned their faith - this is a very inspirational and encouraging book describing the author’s faith in Jesus Christ while rebuilding his life after a fire that destroyed his multimillion-dollar business. He describes in detail his early life on a small apple farm, his courage and his ability through faith, to rebound and rebuild his business after someone tried to destroy it. A very convincing and persuasive story! His banker and financial supporter said it best after agreeing to refinance the author, “your integrity is your greatest asset”.
