Forty-six-year-old David Ponder feels like a total failure. Once a high-flying executive in a Fortune 500 company, he now works a part-time minimum wage job. His wife makes more money than he does by cleaning houses and he drives an old car with a mismatched fender and a heater that no longer works. Then an even greater crisis hits: his daughter becomes ill, and he can't afford to get her the medical help she needs. When his car skids on an icy road, he wonders if he even cares to survive the crash.
But an extraordinary awaits David Ponder. He finds himself traveling back in time, meeting leaders and heroes at crucial moments in their lives. From the European theater of World War II to an ancient Middle Eastern king's throne room, from a Civil War battefield to a warehouse in heaven. David encounters some of the wisest people who ever lived. Abraham Lincoln, King Solomon, Anne Frank, Harry Truman, and others teach him unforgettable life lessons. By the time his amazing journey is over, he has received seven secrets for success-and a second chance to create a life worth living, no matter what opposition or obstacles he might face. The Traveler's Gift offers a modern day parable of one man's choices-and the attitudes that make the difference between success and failure. Unabirdged. Read by the author. 6 hours. 3 cassettes.
