About the author

Lloyd C. Douglas was a noteworthy American minister and author. He spent part of his boyhood in Monroeville, Indiana, Wilmot, Indiana and Florence, Kentucky, where his father, Alexander Jackson Douglas, was pastor of the Hopeful Lutheran Church. He died in Los Angeles, California.
Douglas was one of the most popular American authors of his time, although he didn't write his first novel until he was 50.
His written works were of a moral, didactic, and distinctly religious tone. His first novel, Magnificent Obsession, was an immediate and sensational success. Critics held that his type of fiction was in the tradition of the great religious writings of an earlier generation, such as, Ben-Hur and Quo Vadis.
Douglas is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.

Reviews

[Mike Dourson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful book with admittedly a slow start. But the insights play over to other walks of life, as long as you have a God-centered career.

[Erin · Rating 4 out of 5]

While it definitely has a ring of the Five Two junk, there are certainly some worthwhile epiphanies made by the Pastor. The ending killed me... I desperately wanted to see how it would all play out.
