Positively Powerful!

This book is a gem in the genre of "purposeful living" books. Well-written, inspirational, and instructive, it helps a person see that he or she can indeed make a signicant difference. It is full of examples of the contributions people have made by applying principles from the Bible on a consistent basis. There are also many appropriate quotes that highlight the principles being presented. For example, Charles Haddon Spurgeon on persistence..."By perseverance the snail reached the ark." A good deal of the book is devoted to the success process they observed from various Scriptures. The three step process: A) Start B) Hit Problems C) Experience Victory. This book is full of inspirational guidance. I gladly give it my highest rating.
