<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Little story about Jack and Diane...but mostly Jack! </p><p>Jack Sutter has written an inspiring and humorous journal of his life on and off the court. His story begins as an innocent, unassuming boy growing up in a small farming and coal mining town in Southern Illinois playing basketball on a dirt court. Then leads to coaching in a nationally televised NCAA Mid-West Regional tournament in front of a sold-out crowd. While he chronicled his adventures primarily for his eight grandchildren, his journey from small town kid to an Illinois All-State high school basketball player to a Division 1 college player to college coach will inspire every starry-eyed, small-town kid who picks up a basketball. Jack has met and coached against some of the greatest college coaches the game has ever known. </p><p>Join him as he retraces his steps, remembering the special people and amazing places he's been over the last seven decades. Whether you've known Jack all your life or are meeting him for the first time in the pages of this book, he heartily declares, "Welcome to My World!"</p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>What a great book! As a reminder of our childhood days of long ago and of growing up in a small town of 950 people. Traces the career of a small town boy who leads a great life. As a believer in Christ and as a basketball coach but especially of a Christian man. Those who think that because they come from a small town and don't have much of a chance in the world are able to see that they can affect a lot of people by the kind of life they live. This book is a great read.</em></p><p>- Harl C.</p><p><em>* * *</em></p><p><em>In writing this book, Jack has not only compiled an excellent memoir for his grandchildren, but also an account for guys like me to recall and enjoy the great memories we shared in our time together. I'm glad our paths crossed and I was part of the journey through his world!</em></p><p>- Greg G.</p><p><em>* * *</em></p><p><em>As I read the final words of "Welcome To My World" the memories of yesteryear came flooding back and I thank God I was a small part of the world of Jack Sutter. Some who read this book will call it another "Boy from small town makes good", book, I on the other hand call it a book of transition. We see the transition of a boy from a small town with a passion for the sport he loves, basketball, into an example one from every walk of life can look up to.</em></p><p><em>As Jack said "Maybe there will be an addendum to this story, I am "only" 75 years old as I write this, but we are not promised tomorrow. In the mean time, Welcome To My World. My prayer is that those who read this book will forever remember that great things can be accomplished, and lives changed, even by someone from a small town in a far away place that nobody knows about.</em></p><p>- Peck B.</p><p><em>* * *</em></p><p><em>Really fun reading "Welcome To My World", a real world life story that starts with a young boys life and his big dreams and a love for basketball. Just as in all our lives I could see the twist and turns in Jack's life and when you stick to what you love the end result is exciting to see as a full and complete life. "A very enjoyable book".</em></p><p>- Tom R.</p><p><em>* * *</em></p><p><em>When I began reading this book I did not want to put it down! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the influence basketball had on the life of Jack and his family.</em></p><p>- Sue W.</p><p><em>* * *</em></p><p><em>If you like the movie Hoosiers, you will like this book. A simpler time, a basketball journey, an interesting, likable character, and a realization of what really matters in life. Jack's story will resonate with a lot of different types of people.</em></p><p>- Bill H.</p><p><em>* * *</em></p><p><em>Reading "Welcome To My World" was like traveling back in time. I love this book because I learned about faith, basketball and my Grandpa's wild and adventurous childhood.</em></p><p>- Caroline Sutter<br><br>Author's granddaughter<br><br>9 years old</p><br>
