Synopsis

Facing obstacles that seem impossible to overcome?

What if the same principles that helped Steve Jobs revive Apple and David defeat Goliath could help you overcome your greatest challenges—and build what others believe is impossible?

The Apple and The Stone: 12 Proven Success Strategies Used by Steve Jobs and Goliath-Killer David is a practical guide to overcoming life's greatest obstacles by combining timeless biblical wisdom with proven principles of innovation, leadership, resilience, and faith.

Dr. Hartford G. Dawson, PhD, is the founder and president of Love Without Walls, a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose 12-year journey culminated in the opening of an 80-bed Children's Medical & Wellness Center in Ghana in 2026. He is also an IT professor, a veteran technologist with nearly three decades at Verizon Communications, and an educator passionate about helping others achieve lasting success.

The principles in this book were tested over a 12-year journey that culminated in the opening of an 80-bed Children's Medical & Wellness Center in Ghana in 2026. Along the way came financial obstacles, setbacks, uncertainty, and seemingly impossible challenges. Through perseverance, innovation, faith, and courageous leadership, an audacious vision became a life-changing reality—demonstrating that the principles in this book work not only in theory, but in practice.

Drawing from Steve Jobs' innovative mindset that resurrected Apple from the brink of bankruptcy and David's fearless determination in the face of overwhelming odds, this book reveals 12 proven success strategies that will help you:

• Turn obstacles into opportunities.
• Develop unwavering resilience.
• Lead with vision and purpose.
• Make courageous decisions under pressure.
• Transform adversity into your greatest advantage.
• Build a life of lasting significance.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, leader, student, professional, ministry leader, or someone pursuing a dream that feels beyond your reach, The Apple and The Stone provides a practical framework for overcoming adversity and achieving extraordinary success.

This isn't simply a book about Steve Jobs or David.

It's a blueprint for applying timeless success principles to your own life.

These principles didn't simply help Steve Jobs rebuild Apple or David defeat Goliath. They also helped transform a God-given vision into a children's hospital that opened in Ghana in 2026. Now it's your turn to put these principles into practice.

Don't let your challenges define you. Pick up your stone...and change your future.
