by John Massengale and David Clow
read by a full cast
Unabridged
Audio Sample
“Confidence, fortitude, persistence, pride, fearlessness, and focus are some of the true treasures of the spirit that can get you past defeat, help you build a business, and leave a valuable legacy. The lessons Joe Massengale learned back in the piney woods around Marshall and gave to his sons are some of the same ones I hope my children, my congregation, the kids in my youth center, and my customers get from me.”—George Foreman
“The book is inspiring, and Massengale's ‘regular guy’ voice and emphasis on honesty and values will resonate for many readers.”—Publishers Weekly
Joe Massengale grew up a poor Black boy in Depression-era Texas, never imagining that he would one day be a successful businessman, race-horse owner, and father.
Massengale distills his success into six learned principles: confidence, fortitude, persistence, pride, fearlessness, and focus. Each chapter elucidates one of these principles through tales from his own experience, reflections from prominent persons, and perspectives from each of his sons on the ways these values have shaped them.
Part inspiring memoir, part practical motivation for building strong families and careers, Six Lessons for Six Sons is the rags-to-riches story of an exceptional father and the principles that helped an African-American family rise from poverty in post-slavery Texas a century ago to thriving careers all over the United States today. |
