in Lincoln will enjoy it, and even quite a few who have not delved into the man's life.”

Charles Tabb  President of The Virginia Writers Club and bestselling author of Floating Twigs

 “President Lincoln tossed his words into the future (our present) where we sorely need them.

Jack Schuler caught them and worked them into a book relevant for today. Well done!”

Abraham Lincoln used humor to deal with his own dark times and those of our nation.”

Rave reviews from Positive People

​

 “This book is so well written that you soon feel as though Lincoln himself is sharing his life story with you. It provided me with many laughs and a lot of new information. This is the best book I have read in years.”  Jean King, Connecticut,  English Teacher, Helen Keller Middle School​

Abraham Lincoln!The reverence for Lincoln that I already had has grown exponentially,

thanks to this unique, and highly enjoyable addition to the Lincoln Library."

“This book is truly a delight! It is as informative as it is humorous, but always clear on its intent to preserve the authentic character of one of the most revered men in history."  Dr. Ron Parawan, Jacksonville, Florida, ​

​

“This book was recommended by a friend. My only regret is that my English is not good enough to appreciate all the writing. I don’t know much about American history, but reading this book was a very pleasant way of learning something about a great figure of US history (in action). If all history books were written in this style I would have enjoyed my history classes very much.”

– Theodore Aumont, Paris France, restaurant owner and avid reader
