In this memoir, Holland E. Bynam, a retired US Army colonel and educational administrator, looks back at a life defined by beating the odds. In a series of vignettes, he recalls both those who helped him and those who failed to assist him in making his world and that of those around him richer. While his approach to telling his story may be unconventional-at times he answers the questions of fictional interviewers to enliven his story-it allows him to convey a full orchard of anecdotes, insights, truths, ideals, and present day concerns.

Bynam's story is from the soul of a gifted man. It looks back at his early, military, and later educational experiences; and to his efforts in changing lives for the better. He also shares his thoughts on topics such as educational reform, the essence of Christianity, the deadliest sins, tips for success, the struggle in the Middle East, and more.

"An Incredible Journey" shares excitement, insights, and secrets; seeks to energize you to chase your own dreams; and encourages debates and conversations at numerous venues.

This is a book for self-mentors. Its value is in featuring topics that are not covered in schools, universities, or in professional training programs, and in promoting key knowledge and skill sets people need in order to have an edge on others for dealing successfully with many 21st century concerns.
