Inspiration for 50 Years: an Amazing Story of Faith, Hope and Courage Bob Morris

Publisher Marketing: In early 1963, Jake Townley had very little to show for a man in his early 40s. His business efforts had not met with success and his family barely had enough food on the table. Yet, he placed his faith in the Lord. And once the Lord moved, a success story began to unfold and continues today - a story of overcoming - a story of encouragement - a story of tenacity - a story of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire - a story of empowerment that leads to excellence - a story of love for family, the Savior and of the fellow man - a story of vision, staying power and grit, persistence, consistency and the value of work - a story of faith - and a story of blessing. Again, 50 years later, the faith operation component of Townley Engineering & Manufacturing Company is as strong as when Jake placed his foot on the sandy soils of East Lake Weir, Florida. And one man's stubborn faith has positively affected thousands of men, women and children in a number of communities across the United States and the world. If The Lord Wills, the future for the Townley Company and for its team of dedicated people will be a continuation of the faith journey which began 50 years ago. Toro Townley's outlook for the future is bright. "We have experienced monumental challenges in the past. We now have monumental opportunities in the future." This book is a written testament to the history of the Townley Company and its amazing journey thus far as the company prepares for the future.
