Ten Things I Learned from Bill Porter
Despite being born with cerebral palsy, Bill Porter grew up to take the physically demanding job of a door to door salesman in the worst neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, earning no pay, only commissions. Eventually he became the companys top salesman in the city, the region, and finally the country. Along the way he learned powerful life lessons that he imparted to those around him. One of those people was Shelly Brady, first hired by Porter as a typist and driver, later to become his great friend. In this inspiring book, she brings together his lessons. These seemingly simple ideas, such as Mothers Know Best, Persistence Pays Off, and Know Your Limits, but Reach Beyond Them, resonate powerfully when seen through the lens of a life lived to the fullest against what would be impossible odds for many. Whether finding cooperative bellmen to button his cuffs or beaming a video to his speaking engagements because of ill health, Porter, whose life story became a cause celebre in the 1990s, gets the job done with a smile, and inspires readers to do the same.
Bill Porter's Life Stories
Over the many years I have written the stories of my life, the Miracles that I have experienced and some of the important things, as a Minister, God has revealed to me. I also write about the experiences of my life, and things that might help others to have a successful life also. It started in May of 1941, when WWII was in full swing, and on the day the British sunk the Bismarck, I was born. Born into a poor sharecropper family in Oklahoma, but through the years became not only successful, but an evangelist minister who traveled the many miles that it takes to be what God wishes an Evangelist Minister to be. Gave up a wonderful wife, who followed me throughout all those miles, helping me all the way, and then went to be with the Lord. I'm now married to the most wonderful woman in the world, and live in Colorado.Love you all, Thanks for reading my book... Bill Porter

"Bill Porter: A Drama of O. Henry in Prison" by Upton Sinclair offers a poignant and dramatized glimpse into the life of the beloved short story writer O. Henry—whose real name was William Sidney Porter—during the years he spent behind bars. Through this emotionally layered play, Sinclair brings to life the human struggles behind the legend, focusing on Porter's time in prison after being convicted of embezzlement and the emotional toll it took on his creativity, dignity, and relationships.

Henry's literary voice, even as he wrestles with shame, isol...
