Description
A truly inspirational read. Ken Johnson not only speaks to the reader from an honest and open perspective about his personal life, but employs the use of insight and metaphor to challenge the reader to self-reflect upon his or her life as well. Born into an impoverished situation, both monetarily and spiritually, Journey to Excellence is an autobiographical story of one man's journey to challenge his birth-given circumstance and rise above his childhood influences to lead a life committed to God. Born the third child of a family of six to a father addicted to heroin and a mother attempting at all personal and moral cost to keep her children fed and together, the reader will walk along side Ken at various stages of his life as he learns to overcome the many temptations placed before him and decides to live his life to influence others to live their lives through Christ. The reader will be captivated by how candidly Ken Johnson speaks about his early childhood experiences, his un-adhered pact with God when faced with a serious neck injury, and his triumph against many modern day vices that led him to be the influential speaker, motivator, and leader that he is today. Join Ken Johnson on his Journey to Excellence and learn how he motivates others to live life taking responsibility for self, family, and community.
