When the life's deck seems to be stacked against you, it can often be a daunting journey to the top-taking one step forward and five steps back. This is Ben Gill's personal journey of overcoming unbelievable odds to become one of the most inspirational and successful men in business.
Born into abject poverty in rural Arkansas, Gill is reared in a fiercely religious community and spends seven years in preparation to spread the Word and preach about a God he's not sure exists.
As an adult, Gill climbs the ranks, publishing four books, creating a blog with 80,000 readers, becoming a respected motivational speaker, and founding and serving as CEO for what has grown to become the largest fundraising company in the world. Through it all, he battles severe depression and suffers from crippling suicidal thoughts.
Stumbling Up the Stairway to Heaven takes you on an unbelievable journey from a sharecropper's house to the majestic mountains of Colorado. Experience one man's search for serenity and happiness-and how he finally finds harmony and peace.
