What if the most bitter seasons of your life are actually the source of your greatest strength?

Jerry M. Herrin Jr. spent thirty years climbing the ladder of the high-stakes automotive industry. As a Vice President, General Manager, and two-time Toyota President's Award winner, he was a "fixer"-the leader called in when the numbers were down and the pressure was up. He believed success was a simple equation: Effort + Talent = Victory.

Then life served him a bowl of "Turnip Greens" he didn't order.

On February 9, 2019, a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis stripped away Jerry's titles, his ego, and his illusions of control. Moved from the glass office to the infusion chair, he was forced to face a prognosis with single-digit survival odds. But in that furnace of suffering, the "Old Jerry" was broken down so that a man of iron and grace could be built in his place.

Turnip Greens & Grace is a raw, authentic roadmap for the high-performer. It is a story of grit found on the dealership floor and grace found in a hospital chapel. Through the lens of his journey from terminal diagnosis to his seventh year of survival, Jerry shares:

The Kingmaker Strategy: Why servant leadership is the only model that truly scales and leaves a lasting legacy.

The "Even If" Theology: How to find God's signature in the messiest chapters of life and trade a "transactional" faith for a transformational one.

The Nutrition in the Dirt: Why the "bitter" trials of life provide the "iron" we need to survive the battles we never saw coming.

Whether you are leading a multi-million dollar operation, fighting for your health, or walking through a valley you never expected, this book is your guide to trading the grind for Grace.

God is authoring a story of redemption in your life. It's time to pick up your fork, swallow the bitter, and discover that Grace sure tastes sweet.
