For author Michael McWilliamson, a sixteen-month stint in jail gave him ample opportunity to reflect about life, his past, and his mistakes. It also gave him the chance to read the Bible, learn about God, and turn his life around. In this memoir, McWilliamson candidly talks about the insights into his life experiences and discusses how those experiences shaped him into becoming the man he is today. With the use of hundreds of humorous cartoons, Wisdom from a Turtle shares details about his family and his upbringing and interweaves biblical principles into the lessons he’s gleaned from his past. In addition, he provides commentary on a variety topics from raising children, getting a job, spending (or not spending money), and dealing with today’s technology. The illustrations which follow the stories will make readers laugh or perhaps even raise an eyebrow when they hit close to home. In his memoir, McWilliamson not only pokes fun at himself as he relives his past, but also supplies the mental and spiritual tools to help understand and interact with others. The messages communicated in Wisdom from a Turtle provide lessons to better cope with life’s challenges.
