If you're not hearing the depth here, then write down an instruction if approach being offered and go put it into practice. It's only by appli ation will you see the value. "Only take a vote when you know the losers won't care too much", .... Don't focus so much on fixing individual problems with people that never seem to end, but focus on the pattern in an individual, and address that to decide a solution and gain commitment. Just to name a couple points. Excellent book.

As a Dad with five kids, four of them girls - the oldest is thirteen - I will say this was a great book. Even if you don't have kids, this is a good book. i strongly believe pastor's should read this book. It is revealing of the issues familes face, what youth face, and what good leadership looks like. I don't lightly give out 5 stars. Excellent book.

"Narrative of the Life" of Frederick Douglass is an 1845 memoir and treatise on abolition written by famous orator and former slave Frederick Douglass during his time in Lynn, Massachusetts. It is generally held to be the most famous of a number of narratives written by former slaves during the same period. In factual detail, the text describes the events of his life and is considered to be one of the most influential pieces of literature to fuel the abolitionist movement of the early 19th century in the United States.

I really like this book because Fredrick takes the time to describe what he both painfully witnessed and experienced; insightfully describing the thought processes of a slave; and illuminating with distinction hypocrisy of the religious, just as Jesus did, from true Christianity.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth was a man who healed all who came to him with power from the Holy Spirit. There was no challenge too great for him, and all who saw him knew he was sent from God. Yet, 2,000 years later, he is not with us anymore...or is he? F.F. Bosworth beautifully explains the healing power available to us today through the same one that healed all those years ago.

Richard Wright's powerful and eloquent memoir of his journey from innocence to experience in the Jim Crow South. At once an unashamed confession and a profound indictment, Black Boy is a poignant record of struggle and endurance - a seminal literary work that illuminates our own time. The once controversial, now classic American autobiography measures the brutality and rawness of the Jim Crow South against the sheer desperate will it took to survive as a Black boy. Seventy-five years later, his words continue to reverberate.

Very Good
Reviewed: 03-04-21
Vivid educational account. Well balanced, just clear recounting of his growing up in early 1900's America. The narrator was excellent. I am a Christian, and think this individual to be more "Christian" than the religious environment he grew up in. His integrity to not submit to any system of control is inspirational!

Benjamin Graham developed "value investing", a style adopted by Warren Buffett, one of history's most successful investors. It is based on "fundamental analysis", which quantitatively compares a company's stock price to various measures of financial strength and promise. "Growth investing" is a fundamentally different style that seeks to identify tomorrow's great business successes. Learn the ins and outs, and the pros and cons, of these basic investment styles.

Absolutely Incredible Writing of Terrible Tragedy
Reviewed: 10-26-20
I loved this book almost all the way through. I got so sucked into it hook and line, but I don't suggest sinking with it. The recounts are incredible, detailing the dangers and adventures. At times my heart was rejoicing, and the next it was heavy. My wife asked why I seemed depressed as I tried to shake it. That is what bothers me most. I love how the Catholics take their measure to not let go of God, but I so wish to be able to step in and exhort the hero to pray and listen to God before taking actions. Evil, evil, and more evil, is saddening, which inspires me to be part of the light that delivers people out of darkness. There is hope this book dimly looks to, but there is a light that I know: that there IS hope, meaning and purpose that goes deeper; As we draw near to God, His love heals and fills our hearts to display and carry His heart into this world. I recommend as a follow up, the story of a man with another perspective, and his measure of faith, while a bridge builder for the Germans on the front lines, warning the Jews: "A Thousand Shall Fall".

Jesse Livermore was a loner, an individualist - and the most successful stock trader who ever lived. Written shortly before his death in 1940, How to Trade Stocks offered traders their first account of that famously tight-lipped operator's trading system. Written in Livermore's inimitable, no-nonsense style, it interweaves fascinating autobiographical and historical details with step-by-step guidance on: reading market and stock behaviors.
