"Jack's book "UP FROM ASHES" is much more than a business person's recovery from unfortunate circumstances. It is an account of a Christ filled life leading to a true relationship with the Lord. Jack is a shining example of relying on faith to guide one's life in all circumstances." Dale A. Walter Bremer Bank, NA La Crosse President, SC WI CEO "Thanks so much for letting me read your book (autobiography)! I learned so much about you and Jann and it was just a joy & privilege to read! "An inspiring read! With all of life's hard-knocks here's the story of one man who just wouldn't stay down. You'll get a new outlook on life!" Corey Sateren Sr. Pastor Bethany Evangelical Free Church, La Crosse, WI For readers who have questioned their faith - this is a very inspirational and encouraging book describing the author's faith in Jesus Christ while rebuilding his life after a fire that destroyed his multimillion-dollar business. He describes in detail his early life on a small apple farm, his courage and his ability through faith, to rebound and rebuild his business after someone tried to destroy it. A very convincing and persuasive story! His banker and financial supporter said it best after agreeing to refinance the author, "your integrity is your greatest asset".
