The Impossible is possible.
Dr. Mike Murdock commented on John Mason: “When John Mason speaks, millions listen…”  No wonder Mason’s books have sold over 1.3 million copies, and have been translated in twenty different languages. The impossible is possible is a book that remains evergreen because of its usefulness to both the present and coming generations of people, who must be faced with the complexities of life!
His blend of inspirational language, and quotes from prominent people who have crossed their own hurdles, makes the book a must-read. From the first nugget; ‘Safety Last’, to the last one, he takes the reader into an obvious journey of life, and the attitude to withstand the storms life must throw at us.

In the introduction, John Mason made it clear that men and women, who overcome the impossibilities of yesterday, are people of possibilities today, through the first sentence that goes thus; “almost everything we enjoy today was impossible yesterday”. As the reader continues to read, he or she will find the book impossible to put down. Because one will begin to be inspired, counseled, and fortified to try a new project that may have been considered impossible.

Quoting the likes of Dr. Mike Murdock, George Bernard Shaw, Martin Luther King Jnr, D.L.Moody, Billy Graham, Oswald Chambers, and William Shakespeare, including hundreds of great men and women, Poets, Writers, Thinkers and many who succeeded in their fields. His blend of quotes and simple prose makes the book understandable to anyone who can read at least.

People love when an inspirational Speaker or Writer is coming from personal experiences and his own road, Mason’s book is not short of that. He imports personal experiences to make the reader know that he knows where the man faced with impossibility is coming from!

Every new page in the book is like the beginning of a smooth journey. Readers will be taken into depths they will never regret they dipped themselves into. It’s a book everyone who wants a manual to surmount impossibilities need to have, because it treats everything one needs, including character, mindset, vision, that will take you pass the test of impossibility. But like the Author noted at the last page of the book: the test of this book is not that the reader goes away saying, ‘what an inspiring set of ideas,’ but, ‘I will do something!’Action is what justifies one’s reading of this masterpiece!
