Description

No obstacle can daunt Jack's resolve. He has made up his mind to become a useful, honest man and, most of all, to conquer difficulties! His greatest resolve is to learn to read, and he has surmounted obstacles of great magnitude to fulfill his dream. In a secret mountain cave he carries out the craft he learned from the outcast gipsies. Each success emboldens Jack to press on toward higher goals as he plucks up all the courage he can muster to meet life's next challenge!

Customer review:
A delightful read! “Jack the Conqueror” by C.E. Bowen is a delightful read! The author wastes no time in hooking the reader into the 1896 life of orphaned Jack Harold’s poverty stricken life. Forced to live with his aunt after his parents died he spent most of his time outdoors along the picturesque banks of the river because she cared nothing for him and saw him as a huge inconvenience. Befriended by a local artist and a few caring adult neighbors, Jack found out that God indeed had a good plan and purpose for his life as he grew up in Bushgrove. With God’s help he persevered over tremendous hardships. With willful resolve and sheer determination he not only learned how to earn money to pay for school but he became a well-educated respected boy and adult man in his own hometown village. There’s no doubt without the kind help of God fearing, and morally upright female neighbors, Jack’s ability to conquer difficulties and become successful one step at a time as a young kid growing up in poverty would not have been possible without the help and encouragement of significant Godly people in his young life. I give this 1896 Biblical based character building story five brilliant stars!
