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.
For 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.
This book helped me look at success differently. Throughout the reading, I found myself analyzing my own backgroun, trying to piece together where I, or my ancestors, had gone wrong and what was done right.
A great read!
