Length: 7 hrs and 41 mins

Publisher's summary

John Tesh has achieved more in life than he ever dreamed possible. But the road to success has been anything but easy - and those challenges have become the secret to his success. Through his story, we can learn how to be relentless, how to achieve what we didn't think was possible, and how to handle our inevitable discouragements.

In this engrossing memoir, Tesh describes how the obstacles that shaped him - including being suspended from college, living homeless for months, and facing a deadly disease - shaped his remarkable life. You'll hear, in never-before-told stories, how Tesh became the youngest correspondent at WCBS News less than 36 months after he was working at a gas station and sleeping in a public park. You'll go inside the unconventional way he composed the now-iconic theme song for NBC Sports basketball and how he and his wife, Connie Sellecca, created the popular, nationally-syndicated Intelligence for Your Life radio program. From live commentary for two Olympic Games to his decade-long role as co-host of Entertainment Tonight and the outrageous gamble that resulted in one of the most successful Public Television concert specials in history, you'll learn how Tesh applied his unique process of focused practice, grit, and perseverance while maintaining a single-minded pursuit of his goals. In 2015, he fought and received treatment for a stage-three cancer diagnosis, but when the cancer returned, he and his wife turned to relentless faith and divine healing scriptures to manifest a victory over the disease.

Relentless is an astonishing story of how obstacles create opportunity and how faith will lead to triumph.

"Perhaps best known as a musician and cohost of the early years of 'Entertainment Tonight,' John Tesh provides a memorable narration of his thoughtful, candid, and altogether charming memoir. Tesh's performance is carefully articulated, and personally enveloping for listeners. With occasional Bible quotations peppering the text, both Tesh and his wife Connie Sellecca's deeply held faith is evident. Their shared faith helped the pair successfully overcome repeated serious health issues and other family challenges. Tesh's impressive life and career evolution are here, and the audiobook is a marvelous listening treat." (Audiofile Magazine)

very interesting

his book was written in a way that kept your total attention. I enjoyed it and have learned what being Relentless is all about.

Biography of love, hope and perseverance

John Tesh gives us an inside view of personal trials, tribulations, victories and ‘failures’ His faith references are shared without Bible thumping. Thank you for sharing, John.

believer Lin

love it. I was inspired instantly. I am asking my family & friends to listen.

So inspirational.

This book will not disappoint. John’s story of faith will inspire you and help during hard times. I truly loved his story and hope I can be inspired in my life.

Inspiring!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A timely reminder, you can't judge a book(person) by its (his) cover. John's life wasn't a Father Knows Best story and yet it is very inspiring.

Very good read/listen

It's good to hear someone story and what they have gone through, where they have been and where they are now..

Compelling. Inspiring. Relatable.

John Tesh is an incredible talent with so many facets. He's also a regular guy with regular flaws and problems -- and has overcome them. I have been a John Tesh fan for a long time, but even so this book was way better than I expected. His storytelling is incredible. He weaves together and ties together different episodes in his life masterfully. I highly recommend the Audible version of the book with Tesh narrating the story himself. Parts are laugh out loud funny. My subconscious must have been mulling what I had been listening to because I woke up in the middle of the night and wrote down Compelling, Inspiring, Relatable, as words I knew I needed to put in a review (I rarely write reviews). Even though he is a lofty member of the B-List (his own assessment), he is open about dealing with real-world troubles like the rest of us go through, or know someone who has, and discusses dealing with them in a way that is so uplifting that the reader feels they can rise and do it too. This book, and its author, are on my A-List.

I knew nothing

Stopped watching tv news and the major stations years ago so I knew nothing about Tesh except that he played the piano. The book was fascinating, very well read (duh) and I couldn’t put it down. It made me increase my exercise because that’s the only time I get to be alone and listen.

Unsure

I haven't followed John Tesh's career too closely over the years. I knew he was a gifted musician, and I remember him co-hosting E.T..

In recent months, I have been following John Tesh's radio program on Boomerang radio station. When I heard about this book I was pretty unsure what to expect.

I can tell you that I laughed, I certainly cried.

Relentless is more than just a memoir. If you can receive this, you may just find a few nuggets in this book that may offer an opportunity for course Corrections in life.

I can certainly highly recommend Relentless.

Amen and Amen!

The urgings of the Holy Spirit are real. We must learn to heed His urgings. Like Jogn Tesh, I was recemtly diagnosed with Prostate cancer. Unlike Tesh, I was NOT going to fight it thru what I called "wasted agony" only to destroy my quality of life before going to Heaven anyway. Twice in one week I caught Tesh, once on TBN and again on Fox News program, "The Story", sharing his healing "testimony" and scriptures I know well, but I had NOT yet "claimed" over my life and disease. Now, I claim All "Healing" scriptures and by the Power of Jesus Christ declare that I Am Healed! Hallelujah and Amen!
