"Tony Campolo is a sociologist, author, internationally renowned speaker to big business, social activist, Baptist minister, and lately spiritual advisor to President Bill Clinton. This partly autobiographical and partly biographical book aims to distill his great wisdom and learning around his experience in business and life. Witty and incicisive, it explains what he has found to be critical success factors in life. It includes many fascinating anecdotes concerning famous characters such as Marting Luther King, and others."
