See allFor non-believers, this should be a fascinating biography on a strange and unique person. For the believer (as I am), it's a testament that God calls imperfect people to carry out his work. I don't feel justified in my own short-comings, but I feel comforted in knowing I'm in good company when I don't meet that all to common “be thou perfect” expectation that is felt at times within the Church.
I really enjoyed the stories up until The Book of Merlyn, to which I was falling asleep to half the time. Otherwise, fantastic stories. It made the King Arthur legend come to life in ways it never has.
I couldn't put the book down. If you can get past the f*bombs sprinkled all throughout the book, there is a lot of blunt, real advice that can shake you awake. Particularly the principle that you are responsible for everything that happens to you, especially the meaning you attached events and happenings in your life. As I went through this book, it sparked very radical and profound thoughts that made my heart flutter and mind race. If I act on these impressions and thoughts in the near future, my life could take a very unique course for the next year or two.
I recommend this book to anyone that has read other self-help books and found them to be too woo-woo or to ‘light' and not blunt enough to tell it like it is. There really isn't anything new in here you couldn't find in books by other more well-known authors, but the way it's presented with its coarse language is refreshing.
I'm two chapters in and am already questioning the validity of this work. George says that baseball is the favorite sport of America. But that's wrong because everyone knows baseball blows....
That being said, I really liked his suggestions. There are many practical examples in this book and deserves to be re-read. I also like that it's 90% applicable content and only 10% Trump-praising.
