Discover the success secrets of individuals who have transformed their lives by internalizing and applying Napoleon Hill's achievement philosophy. Have you ever read a book by an author and it immediately changed you--your outlook on life, your relationships, your personal initiative, and your ability to withstand adversity? That is the common experience of those who have read the books of Napoleon Hill, especially his seminal Think and Grow Rich. This book collects the stories of real people whose lives have been altered by the work and wisdom of Napoleon Hill. With very few exceptions, none of the people included in this book ever met Hill directly, but they entered into a timeless mentorship or mastermind relationship with him through his many publications. When you read this book, you will gain insight into how real people translate Hill's philosophy of success into actions that forever alter the course of their lives. From multi-millionaires to teachers, counselors to humanitarians, the individuals who share Hill's impact on their lives prove that Hill's success system is more than a theory; it is a powerful program of achievement with enduring real-world application. Assembled by synthesizing the collective knowledge of hundreds of the most prosperous people of his era--including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and many others--Hill's Science of Success provides practical steps for building financial, mental, and spiritual wealth. Similarly, the people who submitted "Dear Napoleon" letters for this book do not express their theoretical understanding of Hill's principles; rather, they candidly share their real-life experiences with the power of Napoleon Hill's philosophy of success. Take a journey into the trials and celebrations, failures and successes, of the individuals featured in this book, and acquire a clear sense of how you can apply Hill's success concepts to great effect.

Bestselling author Jim Stovall's latest offering and first title of his Homecoming Historical Series, One Season of Hope, is a rare combination of tear-jerking emotion, powerful wisdom, and inspiring hope. Written in Stovall's signature easy and economical style, the story is told through the perspective of Glen Fullerton, "a man for the last forty-two years in the Truman High universe, simply known as Coach." Welcome to the Friday night lights of Harry S. Truman High School football stadium. Coach knows the roller-coaster ride of a high school football season better than anyone. But this season is different than any he has experienced in all his years of coaching. It is one of life-changing suspense and gripping lessons in the value of humanity. Regular, reflective "conversations" with the late President Truman give guidance, mined from the coach's love and study of history, to help him through the most challenging season of his long and storied career at Truman High--a season that he will forever remember as One Season of Hope.
