Suggested Reading:Le Tourneau: Mover of Men & Mountains(true story)
When an industrialist invites God into his business, miracles happen. Despite never having gotten past seventh grade in school and experiencing many failures early on, R.G. Le-Tourneau rose to eminence in the competitive world of manufacturing and construction. Although his competitors thought him insane, history has proven that his inventive genius was decades ahead of its time.
LeTourneau's story is one of the weak confounding the mighty and his message is that what he has done, anyone can do with God's help. He tells his story with a beautiful humility and it reads as if he is sitting in an armchair across from you just reminiscing and sharing his life.
His machines represented nearly 70 percent of the earthmoving equipment and Engineering vehicles used during World War II, and he was responsible for nearly 300 patents. With the help of his wife, Evelyn, he founded what became a private, Christian university, LeTourneau University, in Longview. “There's nothing dull about being in partnership with God."
