The Hundredaire

"After coming from a modest upbringing and ending up on Secret Millionaire, I can attest that these stories show you the essence of being rich whether you have money or not. Donald and Katherine's storytelling of kindness during hard times is sure to give you hope and inspire generosity regardless of your circumstances." - James Malinchak (Featured on ABC's Hit TV show, "Secret Millionaire"; Best Selling Author, "Millionaire Success Secrets"; Author of 27 Books) In the Idyllic village of Courtland, Minnesota, population 200 (if you count the cats and dogs), a boy named Donny grew up and moved through life by cultivating the love of all God's creatures great and small, and learning from the people around him who may not have seemed "great" or "glamorous" in the eyes of the world, but who had much to teach nonetheless.

These slices of life are rich with people who are so beautifully flawed you'd think they were made-up characters, like Pete the village blacksmith; Frank the drunken cowboy who lived in a dynamite shack; and Mitzi the 600-pound life coach. Not to mention Donny's own collection of family members who, on any given day, might ride two horses at once, hang upside-down from windmills, or hypnotize chickens.

Starting with working at his family's general store as a child, Donny came to discover and appreciate many adventures in life, like biking across England, taking a risky trek through the Canadian wilderness, becoming a military serviceman, going to Bible college, and eventually choosing a vocation as a house painter.

Take a refreshing visit back to simpler times. The nostalgia of The Hundredaire will warm your heart, cause you to rethink people you've met, and inspire you to carry out acts of kindness and generosity for "the least of these."
