About the Book
He wasn’t born into perfect circumstances. He didn’t graduate from college. By the world’s standards, he didn’t even have much when he started—just a family to feed, a relentless work ethic, and one thousand dollars in his pocket. But what he did have was something more powerful than anything else: faith in God, a calling to serve others, and the quiet conviction that anything was possible if you were committed to doing the right thing.
This is the extraordinary true story of Allen Lund who built one of the most admired and successful logistics companies in America—with annual revenues exceeding $1.2 billion—all while staying grounded in humility, service, and Catholic values. Told with raw honesty and reverence, this authorized biography offers readers an inside look at the life, struggles, triumphs, and legacy of a leader who successfully merged business, faith, and family with unprecedented excellence.
Through decades of relentless work, bold decisions, and unwavering focus on God, he created more than just a company—he created a culture. One of integrity and generosity. Allen didn’t just build a business, he built up churches, schools, universities, and most importantly people.
Allen’s story of coming to faith, finding true love, growing a family, and becoming a champion for many people in need will inspire you to take action in your life to do the most good you can, for as many people as you can, for as long as you can.
His mission wasn’t just success; it was stewardship. It wasn’t just growth; it was grace.
For entrepreneurs seeking inspiration, for believers who wonder if faith has a place in the boardroom, and for anyone longing to witness how quiet greatness can be forged in the fires of adversity—this book offers more than motivation. It offers proof that a life built on conviction, character, and Christ can transform the world around it.
Published in partnership with Dynamic Catholic, this book is more than a biography—it’s a roadmap. To grit. To grace. And to us becoming everyday saints.
