My Take on the Book:
This book, though mildly religious, had my attention from the beginning. Usually religious books don't do that so much for me. This book was fantastic!
I like where the author got the title from. A story by Brother Bern, which was truly inspiring. Actually, many times throughout this book I felt inspired or could relate on many levels. I especially related to the Alzheimers section. I lost my Papa, and my Dad from it. My father was only 67. At least my Papa was with me until 83. Though he did not know me then. Each time I remember thinking, "At least they're in Heaven and not suffering anymore."
The book didn't challenge my faith, but it did make me look at what I value most and why. I like when a book can reaffirm your beliefs.
They were stories we could all connect to. From family, finances, career, health and marriage. My favorite part of th ebook is Chapter 11, Zig Ziglar's family is expressing their views on the family's struggles. It was nice to hear all sides and not just one.
The ONLY problem I had, was on Page 1, no less. 2nd Paragraph there is a typo. It is spelled achievemen, which is obviously supposed to be achievement. That is great when that is all I can complain about. I highly suggest you take a gander at this book, and I leave you with a quote;
Where there is struggle, there is life. ~Zig Ziglar~
