Reviews

"My good friend Ron Simmons has written brilliantly on the path to success in Life Lessons from the Little Red Wagon. As Ron’s Pastor, I have watched Ron live his faith, lead his family, and love his God both in the public and private arenas. This book is filled with life wisdom and inspiring faith. Let Ron take you for a ride in the little red wagon. It just might change your life."

“In some ways, Ron’s story isn’t so different from mine. I grew up in rural Ohio the son of a pastor and a librarian. Ron grew up in rural Arkansas the son of public-school teachers. But because of the solid values Ron embraced and applied to his life, his dreams have come to fruition. This book provides principles anyone can follow. Comparing his journey to that of a kid with a little red wagon, he inspires desire, growth, and intentionality. Apply these lessons to your life and see where your journey takes you.”
