Synopsis

Do you ever think big things for God? Born into a wealthy family and endowed with a large inheritance after the death of his father, Henry Parsons Crowell had many opportunities to try his hand at business, a passion that suited him well. His shrewd business sense eventually brought him to the top of the oatmeal business, and to the potential for even greater wealth, if only he would compromise his values. But Crowell was a man of integrity and compassion.

Read this compelling story of a man who, in his youth, struggled with a debilitating and life-threatening illness. He was a man who survived the loss of two wives, a man who faced opposition in almost every venture he engaged upon, and a man who, through it all, thought big things for God. Whether it was in his home-based Bible studies, his business lunches with great leaders, his work to rid the city of Chicago of debauchery, or his contributions to the Moody Bible Institute, Henry Parsons Crowell was a man who above all sought to share Christ with those around him. See how the vows Crowell made as a young man to give glory to God through his stewardship came to fruition in this inspiring biography of one of the faithful men of God.

From the Author:

Timely in light of today's dialog about character, values...
As the author of over 30 other books, including JONI, THE TOMMY JOHN STORY and JOSH MCDOWELL, I'm convinced that this book is timely in light of today's dialog and concern about character, values and virture. Crowell is not simply a role model for men and women in today's boardrooms--his Horatio Alger story is also fascinating and inspiring for all.
