Tougher Than Woodpecker Lips

Al Rudolph has been a member of Toastmasters International for 20+ years. He has entered, and won, numerous speech and evaluation contests. His speaking skills have allowed him the opportunity to present numerous motivational and inspirational speeches to untold audiences. His uncanny ability to capture the attention of his audience members holds true in both the oral and written formats. Al is a shepherd of First Capital Christian Church where he leads and teaches classes pertaining to Christian living. He lives in southern Indiana with his beautiful wife of 39 years, Linda. They have one daughter, Stephanie, who lives in New York City. "I've known Al Rudolph for nearly twenty years and he is the real deal. I have no doubt that the values and principles he writes about in this inspiring book have been lived out in his life. Tougher than Woodpecker Lips will certainly stretch you and challenge you, but your soul will be infused with new hope. Full of spiritual depth and practical insights, heavy on witty sayings and humor, Al's book is a 'must-read' for anyone committed to growing. Readers will be encouraged, equipped, and eager to put the principles that Al espouses into action in their lives. I highly recommend this delightful new book for anyone with a pulse, who isn't anxious to visit a mortician, and who wants to really revolutionize and fortify their life with powerful, Bible-based character traits. We only have one life to live; as Al says, 'Let's not just survive - let's thrive '" Dru Ashwell Executive Editor, College Press & HeartSpring Publishing Professor, Ozark Christian College Joplin, Missouri
