Produktbeschreibung
Sword Drills is the autobiography of John Taylor and his life through the last half of the 20th century and the first part of the 21st century as an ordinary man. The author attempts to share experiences and relationships that will allow the reader to understand and somewhat experience life during those times. Mr. Taylor is an outspoken evangelical Christian and the book is a positive story of his life and recounts the times God had led and protected him. Mr. Taylor relates many anecdotes and stories that he was encouraged by friends to share. He hopes it allows others to see that one does not have to be a celebrity, major executive or entrepreneur to have an interesting and satisfying life. Sword Drills refers to an exercise in Sunday Schools where the teacher would name a Bible book, chapter and verse and the first to find it in their Bible got to read it to the class. Sliderules refers to the device used for calculations in engineering and science before computers or calculators. And green eyeshades were worn by accountants in the old days when the lighting was glaring to protect one's eyes. These were the major parts of Mr. Taylor's life. For many this will bring back memories of their life and similar experiences. It is a study in nostalgia of sorts.
