The Jack Within: Home Spun Country Wisdom, Heartfelt Experiences, Real Outdoor Life - Hardcover

by Jim Shaw (Author), Jonathan Clark (Illustrator), Lois Webster (Illustrator)

Jack has lived a long, satisfied life. He has had his fair share of adventures and adversities whereby the sum of his vast experiences has tempered his perspective just a bit. His moral compass for right and wrong have been tested but he refuses to give up on how he was raised. Remembering to always treat people with dignity and respect, and a healthy dose of country living, has always been Jack's foundation. Mix in a little humor from time to time and Jack seems to do just fine.

Jack quotes:

"A woman has a good idea how much she is worth, are you prepared to pay the price?"

"True love can only exist as young love, a love given completely to another person without reservations unsoiled by adult prejudices and obligations; when words like trust and forever are still naive concepts."

"Time spent with a little brown liquor and a good friend is always time well spent."

"While it is commonly expected that a man be a man to the rest of society, it is sometimes more important that he be a man to other men."

"Believing in the life hereafter becomes important once you have started packing for the trip."

"Jake didn't know he wanted to live, I had to teach him."

"Doing is also good medicine for others."
