The real Harland Sanders, Commissioned as a Kentucky Colonel by Governor Ruby Lafoon in 1935, was born in Henryville, Indiana, in 1890 and died Dec. 16, 1980, at the age of 90. He lived a very unusual and extraordinary life, serving in the military, living for a time in Cuba, and working all kinds of assorted jobs ranging from street car conductor, lawyer, railroad laborer, ferry boat operator, gas station attendant, and even delivering babies, before finally discovering his talent for cooking. Many know the Colonel's success in perfecting the restaurant franchising business model came late in his life, as he was in his mid-60s when he groomed his goatee, donned his iconic white suit, and began traveling the country to sell his fried chicken recipe.Few, however, know the story of Sanders' conversion to the Christian faith, which came even later in his life. Although he had long attended church, recognized the Bible's authority, given away much of his money to charities, and even tithed regularly, none of these things unburdened Colonel Sanders from his own guilty conscience.This book is the things you may not have known about Harlan Sanders' unordinary life, success in business, and genuine faith in Christ.
