The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Amazing! This book was just amazing. I started it and finished it in less than an hour. I was so caught up in it I just couldn't put it down. Talk about making you use your imagination. I could feel the heat of the boardwalk the smell of the ocean, the feel of the wind in my hair. I was there. I was right there the whole way. I have never been touched by a book like this. Find a nice quiet place, have a glass of ice tea, set aside some crackers or cheese for later because you won't want to move from you spot until you are done. Read it!!! You will be so glad you did and I bet it will make you think twice about what may lay ahead for you on your journey to "Heaven". I for one am looking forward to it.
Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson
This true story about the love between a spiritual mentor and his pupil has soared to the bestseller list for many reasons. For starters: it reminds us of the affection and gratitude that many of us still feel for the significant mentors of our past. It also plays out a fantasy many of us have entertained: what would it be like to look those people up again, tell them how much they meant to us, maybe even resume the mentorship? Plus, we meet Morrie Schwartz--a one of a kind professor, whom the author describes as looking like a cross between a biblical prophet and Christmas elf. And finally we are privy to intimate moments of Morrie's final days as he lies dying from a terminal illness. Even on his deathbed, this twinkling-eyed mensch manages to teach us all about living robustly and fully. Kudos to author and acclaimed sports columnist Mitch Albom for telling this universally touching story with such grace and humility.
Jesus CEO : Using Ancient Wisdom for Visionary Leadership:
I picked this book up in an airport bookshop, with no preconceived notions of what it might be. In my search to become a better leader, I found the book compelling and was unable to put the book down. I do not claim to be a biblical scholar and this book didn't require it. Simply, this book is a good primer for a leader looking to understand what leadership is.
