He is a remarkable man indeed. He has "good breeding" because of the values instilled in him by his parents and grandparents. Thank you for your review. This sounds like a great book to read, too bad about the errors though!

The book Touchstone by Linda Eatmon-Jones was inspiring. I loved your review and reading the sample gave me a lot to aspire too in my own life. I like the idea of how so many others in his life contributed to the book as well. All singing his praises and how "good" can be contagious to us all.

An interesting collection of essays written by different people about Earle. The focus of these essays is the noble character of Earle and his achievements. There are topics in the book, which show the inspirational side of Earle.

This sounds like a wonderful tribute to an amazing life led with character and principles. Several people wrote essays to describe this man’s life and I think that’s awesome.

Earle's life and legacy seems something. It is very touching that the author of this book is his wife. Looking forward to reading this

I am not a fan of memoirs and biographies, but I love how this book was inspired by the love of a wife for her husband, and the desire to honor the accomplishments of his life. I agree with the author, there is no need to wait until loved ones are gone to praise them!

Official Review: Touchstone by Linda Eatmon-Jones

The book tells us the life success of Earle Sr. and the things he did for the love of his family. I like the book because it gives us life lessons not to give up. A motivational story that provides facts on how to become successful despite the obstacles in life.

It is interesting that Linda Eatmon-Jones wrote the book honoring her husband, Earle Francis Jones, while he is still alive. She must have loved him tremendously. It is evident that Earle Francis Jones is a loved personality both professionally and personally, since people with varied backgrounds contributed essays for this book.

I think the unique thing about this biography is it is comprised of essays of people who knows Earl Francis Jones, I think that says a lot about his character. Thank you for a wonderful review!

Thanks for the review. This sounds like a work of love. Not only are there pieces from his wife but a community of people. I think this would be a nice read that could pick up the spirits I’ll put it in my list to read.

Thanks for the review. Praises and admiration is of no use ones a person has left the face of earth. It's value increases tenfold if you do it when person is right in front of you. Usually have heard married couple to fight, this one for change feels fresh
