The manuscript was a story about a man whose family was experiencing the toughest of times. This man, David Ponder, was able to travel back in time to seven different locations. In those places he met with seven historical figures who, at that moment, were experiencing the worst times in their own lives. Each of the seven people gave the man a written principle, and he came to understand that if he made the principles a part of his own life, everything about his future would change.
