My husband says, I read a lot of books. When I was in the early grades, I won award after award for reading the most books in a short period of time. I give my mother and dad the credit. They started me on phonics when I was 5. The rest is history. I only wish that I had made a list of every book - ever read. Even though I have been writing a lot this summer, I probably could have been done with "The Book", but instead, I took time out to read some favorite Mary Higgens Clark books, as well as self help authors.
Last weekend I attended Women of Faith Conference in Indianapolis. On Friday night they introduced Andy Andrews and he was a riot. Very funny and entertaining with impact of words. So as I was wondering around the book tables, I felt the urge to buy a set of two books offered by Andy Andrews. The impulse has turned out to be "mouth dropping", "eye twitching", and "mind blowing" AHA moments!
You owe yourself the time of your life to read. . .The "Traveler's Gift" by Andy Andrews. Seven Decisions That Determine Personal Success.
It is about a 46-year-old man with a wife and daughter, who looses his big time job and completely looses it. He drives his car off the road into a bridge and wakes up in the oval office of the president of the United States. Harry Truman! What? Yes, and his message to David Ponder was the first step to personal success. He had a special written out message and knew he was coming. He talked at length about how he was having to make a very difficult decision. The decision to drop a bomb that will change the course of everyone's life across the world. His message to David. "The Buck Stops Here!" How sometimes you have to make a choice in life, whether right or wrong and do the best job with the resources you have to know you did it. Take the responsibility for it.
Just as a teaser - he next ends up in Solomon's Court during Biblical times. The decision that Solomon had to make between the two women who were fighting over a baby.
He will talk with Christopher Columbus, Anne Frank and learn all the decisions about how to seek wisdom, and live his life by choosing to live to the fullest.
I will share more with you, but I challenge you to get this book and experience your own epiphany's.
What I learned was a personal need to make a future of seeking wisdom, choosing to be happy instead of wanting circumstances to be right, so I can be happy. Amazing information on each page of this book. This economic and political time is very scary and managing our emotions is not a walk in the park anymore. As I said, I choose to process and manage how to do that all to the glory of God and for my own health as well.
Have a good week.
