Thomas Nelson Publisher.

We rejoin david Ponder (think about it), the main character in The travelers gift. In his last adventure, he discovered the seven decisions for personal and professional success. Now, many years later, at the age of 74, he is needed now, more than ever. He ans a number of fellow “travelers” are called upon to set upon a quest to discover the one principle that will save humanity.

Alone in his luxurious apartment atop the 55 story Ponder International Building, we find David. His beautiful wife and best friend Ellen has died. Though he has everything money can buy, he is heart-broken. Nothing can can compensate for the tremendous sense of loss he feels.

While sitting at his desk Re-living the events relating to the seven treasured gifts ( each one relating to one of the seven decisions). These treasures are kept in a hand sown tobacco pouch which was a gift presented to him by Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, of the Battle of Gettysburg fame. Now, he is joined by Gabriel the Archangel, who informs him that he, David Ponder of all people, has been chosen to lead the Final Summit. The Final Summit is a gathering of fellow “Travelers”. Their quest is to discover the one principle that will save humanity. Time is running out. The “Travelers” must work quickly to find a sollution, before it's too late!

Andy has done it again! He has such a unique way of conveying an idea. He presents Life Principles in such interesting and thought-provoking ways.

I never would have read this type of book before. However, after hearing Andy speak at Family Fest (Gatlinburg Tennessee), I bought one of his books. I was hooked! I couldn't put it down!

I'm sure you are going to thoroughly enjoy this book. I strongly recommend getting his other books, as well.
