From Jumble Plains to Eternity

A life that reads like a feature film.

A Glorious Ride: From Jumble Plains to Eternity is an inspiring story of rolled up sleeves, practical faith and a resolute determination to give life a go.

Tony McLellan grew up on a sheep station mending fences and killing rabbits. It turned out to be the perfect apprenticeship for a business high-flyer who crossed the Atlantic on the Concorde as casually as most people catch a bus.

A crisis in his business and family life at the age of 47 taught him the deeper meaning of achievement: The path to a truly successful life begins when you focus on serving others.

A Glorious Ride is an antidote for the dismal secularism of our times and a rallying cry against despair.

Product description

Review

"Reading A Glorious Ride will be one of the best investments of time you will ever make. Soak up the lived experience and learned wisdom... I wish it were around 40 years ago!" --Senator the Hon Eric Abetz, Former Leader of the Senate, Canberra

"Tony McLellan's fascinating and inspirational story is as exceptional as the man himself. From the Australian bush to some of the great and palatial places in the world, and from sorrow to faith, this is a story not to miss." --John Anderson, Former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia

"You will cry, laugh out loud, shout in the victories and commiserate in the low times. You will come face to face with greatness. God's trust in Tony and Tony's overflowing gratefulness to his Creator shine through." --Dr Sam Chand, Leadership consultant and author of Leadership Pain. Atlanta, Georgia --This text refers to the paperback edition.
