Bob Skelton will have his book displayed at the ALA Annual Conference and Exhibition 2022

ReadersMagnet will display Bob Skelton’s book “The Amazing Power of an Encourager” at the American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference and Exhibition on June 24-27, 2022, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington DC, USA.

“The Amazing Power of an Encourager” is a story of a young businessman who lost everything in a terrible business deal and decides to commit suicide after four years of sleeping 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours per night. Then he shares the rest of the story, including how he came to acquire four planes, and he credits his wife’s encouragement because of his success.
This profound book has the capacity to move readers of all ages and come from a variety of different backgrounds. In point of fact, if readers do not have several idealistic moments after exploring this book, then there is obviously a problem because reading this book opens up the truth that it is possible to positively influence the world through encouragement.

“This is a book all about change. Change that is imperative to growth. This is not a book to be read, it is one to be absorbed, and if you give it the opportunity, it will make each and every one of you better…and who doesn’t want that?!” – Cale Yarborough, three times Nascar Champion.

Furthermore, this book has been awarded the December 2019 Book of the Month. Anyone who is interested in having a good read of Bob Skelton’s “The Amazing Power of an Encourager” can get a copy at Trilogy Christian Publishing and Amazon.

Author
Bob Skelton was born in Zenith, WVA., with his humble beginning. When he was born in his grandparents’ home, and the delivery physician was given two chickens in payment.
Humble would be an understatement.

When Bob was five years old, his family relocated to Winston- Salem, NC. When his dad was hired as a long-distance truck driver with McLean Trucking Company, he worked the rest of his working career; just before his retirement, he was struck by lightning and died.

This is where he went to grade school and high school after high school, he was drafted into the army for two years. Eighteen months of this time were spent in Okinawa, which is off the east coast of China. After returning home from the military.

He entered the prosthetic program at Bowman-Grey School of medicine for two years and then transferred to Duke medical center for two years. During the summer between, Bob married his wife Sue, and they started their marriage in Durham after completing his schooling and passing the Boards for certification.

They moved to Florence, SC, for Bob to begin practicing his profession. After a couple of years, he was contacted by a couple of friends to start a business which they did. When the big recession of the late 1970s-1980s hit, Bob lost it all! During this time, they had their one and only son born into their family named, Grant. The school of hard knocks didn’t get Bob down. He rose from the ashes a smarter, shrewder man.

From the lessons he learned during this difficult time, he was able to build a highly successful medical business! But a different way of doing business made it necessary for Bob to get more training for his pilot skills by getting his Multi/engine Instrument rating in which he now has a total Pilot in command time in access of 3600 hrs.

He was able to purchase one single-engine and three twin-engine aircraft. This also opened the doors to fly Physician friends, Nascar drivers, Governors, and Lt. Governors. Family trips almost weekly. He has served on the Airport Authority for eleven years and chairman for two years, and on other financial boards. Bob has a son in China and has made two trips back to the far east for visits with the grandchildren, son, and daughter-in-law.

His travels have also taken him and his wife to Europe and Hawaii. I would think this has been a pretty exciting life for a little two chicken baby from WVA.
