 Interesting February 12, 2008

After reading all the reviews I felt I had to post one, seeing as I didn't find any I could really agree with wholeheartedly. The book is refreshing (not overly so) and it does make you think and reflect.
As for the Christians who are saying it's blasphemous, not really. If you're in a place, a "junk pile", then this is in a way what you need to hear. No, it's not talking about Jesus every five seconds, but it does mention him. So if you want to use this as a "witnessing" tool, then it's for someone that you can spend time with and really go over with AND continue on to expound the message. It's not the be-all and end-all of books, even though it does market itself that way, but it does touch on a lot of worthwhile points.
As for non-christians, it's not (well, not TOO MUCH) "preachy". It deals a lot with low self esteem and how that hold us back. You can tell it's written by a business man. But it does make you pause and think. It touches on hope, and really that's all many of us have to go on at the end of the day.
So all in all, a nifty little book, not necessarily a quick read but the slow pace does give time for reflection on what's been written. It's heart-warming, not in the "warm fuzzy" sense, but because it does give hope in it's message and it IS inspirational.
So, all in all, not the best book in the world and I prolly won't read it or the author again, but the fact of the message contained is definitely what it has going for it. I'm not big on inspirational books, but if you're going to read one, this is pretty good. (and it's small too!)

This has to be the best book ever written by man. If you don't get it after reading this book, you never will.

I have read everyone of Og Mandinos Books and all I can say is that he writes with brilliance, clarity, enthusiasm, and spirit. You can never go wrong with any of his books. He points out the path to success and motivates the spirit within to achieve all that we as human beings are capable. He helped me to tap into my innate genuis and create a life of prosperity and creativity. If you havent raed his books, start now and your journey of the spirit will begin. He was a born writer and even after his passing continues to have a great influence on many people old and young. He truly lived a purposeful and divine life. Go buy all his books and enjoy the growth and enlightenment. After that Buy my Book " Your daily Walk with the Great Minds of the Past and Present". Enjoy and rememeber you are capable of great things in your life.
