In its much-anticipated launch, Michael Banner's literary offering, A Gift From My Father, has emerged as a compelling exploration of the familial ties and the lasting impression left by the Greatest Generation. Banner, an accomplished author renowned for his exceptional storytelling, has once again embodied the essence of a pivotal era in American history and just maybe, why we need it so badly right now. The author, drawing inspiration from his own family history by reminding us of the mindset of the men that earned the right to be forever known as "The Greatest Generation." The beauty of father-son relationship, as shown in the book, weaves a narrative that resonates with readers across generations. This book is also a tribute to the young men who went to war as boys and returned as men. The narrative hints at the crucibles that forged these individuals into the supermen, who returned home victorious, and built this great nation.
Born into a poor West African family in the disease-stricken town of Fontem, John N. Atabong embarked into the unknown in search of hope. He was eleven, but he triumphed against all odds to give his children the best care and education available. Eventually, he sacrificed his most valuable possession, his son Sixtus, sending him to study in the United States with nothing more than lessons learned from his days working the farms and his father's basic biblical teachings. Sixtus Atabong's journey of temptations and challenges in the US gives rise to a mission: to give back. He uses his gift to extend God's healing hands and unfailing love to the far corners of the earth through sustainable health care infrastructures. Fulfilling his father's dream, Sixtus hopes that he too can leave the world a better place than he found it.
He’s the swashbuckling world traveler and legendary investor who made his fortune before he was forty. Now the bestselling author of A Bull in China, Hot Commodities, and Adventure Capitalist shares a heartfelt, indispensable guide for his daughters (and all young investors) to find success and happiness. In A Gift to My Children, Jim Rogers offers advice with his trademark candor and confidence, but this time he adds paternal compassion, protectiveness, and love. Rogers reveals how to learn from his triumphs and mistakes in order to achieve a prosperous, well-lived life. For example: • Trust your own judgment: Rogers sensed China’s true potential way back in the 1980s, at a time when most analysts were highly skeptical of its prospects for growth. • Focus on what you like: Rogers was five when he started collecting empty bottles at baseball games instead of playing. • Be persistent: Coming to Yale from rural Alabama, and in over his head, Rogers never stopped studying and wound up with a scholarship to Oxford. • See the world: In 1990, Rogers traveled through six continents by motorcycle, gaining a global perspective and learning how to evaluate prospects in rapidly developing countries such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China. • Nothing is really new: anything deemed “innovative” or “unprecedented” is usually just overhyped, as in the case of the Internet or TV, airplanes, and railroads before it • And not a bit off the subject, and very important: Boys will need you more than you’ll need them! Wise and warm, accessible and inspiring, A Gift to My Children is a great gift for all those just starting to invest in their futures.

Big men, small men, smart men, strong men, brave men, kind men, rich men, poor men: they can all be different. They can all be real men, and it seems like they all were not all that long ago. The men of the greatest generation knew what fortitude meant. They knew what it took to win a war, to win someone's heart. They knew the meaning of words like husband and father and respect. Real men are still around today, but you have to know what to look for. This book makes it clear who they are. Let this be your manual. Michael Banner will give you a personal tour through the world of our fathers and grandfathers and show how the strength these men had hasn't faded, and how we need it now more than ever.
