Character Carved In Stone

By Pat Williams with Jim Denney

Forewords by Coach Mike Krzyzewski

“The world is in desperate need of a new leadership role model. Readers who apply these time-tested principles to their lives and work will be well on their way to fulfilling that need.” Overlooking the Hudson River on the campus of the United States Military Academy at West Point are twelve granite benches. Each one is inscribed with a word representing a key leadership virtue: Compassion, courage, dedication, determination, dignity, discipline, integrity, loyalty, perseverance, responsibility, service, and trust. These benches remind cadets of the qualities that lead to victory and success, not just on the battlefield but in all of life as well.

Neal McCoy- A New Mountain to Climb, Autographed
The song came first…. Then the idea for a book. One of America’s most loved and charismatic country music artists, Neal McCoy, offers a glimpse into the lives of some very brave men, women, and children. Each chapter illuminates the character of those Neal refers to as “his heroes” who climb life’s toughest mountains; through serious physical handicaps, relentless pain, the loss of someone dear, the end of a dream, or leadership under pressure. When Neal recorded A New Mountain to Climb, he thought of these people who inspired him and changed his life.

Keeping Faith- by John Schaeffer and Frank Schaeffer, A Father- Son Story About Love and The United States Marine Corps
In 1998, Frank Schaeffer was a successful novelist living in “Volvo driving, higher-education worshiping” Massachusetts with a son graduated from Georgetown and a daughter from NYU. Then his youngest child- eighteen years old and straight out of high school- decided to join the U.S. Marines Corp. Written in alternating voices by eighteen-year-old John and his father, Keeping Faith takes us in riveting fashion through the experience of the U.S. Marine Corps: from being broken down and built back up on Parris Island (and being the parent of a child undergoing that experience), to the growth of both father and son, and their separate reevaluations of what it means to serve.

Our Last Best Chance; The Pursuit of Peace In a Time of Peril- by King Abdullah of Jordan
It is almost unprecedented for a king to write a memoir that tackle head-on the most explosive issues he faces. King Abdullah II had decided to do so now out of a sense of urgency, a conviction that the window for peace between Israel and the Palestinians is closing. For twelve years he has ruled Jordan, a country at the center of strategic discussions about the Arab-Israeli conflict, Iraq, Iran and terrorism, playing a defining role behind the scenes. But nothing in his upbringing gave him reason to believe that this would be his fate.

Known and Unknown; A Memoir-  by Donald Rumsfeld
Few Americans have spent more time near the center of power that Donald Rumsfeld, whose widely commented-on memoir offers many previously undisclosed details about his service with four U.S. Presidents. We follow his rise from a middle-class childhood to the Navy to a seat in the U.S. Congress at age thirty, and his experiences there during the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights era. We also get his unique perspective as a cabinet-level member of the Nixon and Ford administrations, as CEO of two Fortune 500 companies, and as a special envoy to the Middle East for President Reagan. Rumsfeld also address the challenges and controversies of his time as Secretary of Defense during 9/11 attacks by al-Qaida and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He includes candid observations on the differences of views within the Pentagon and with other members of President George W. Bush’s National Security Council.
