Mastering the Seven Decisions

Thanks to Andy Andrew's and Thomas Nelson Publishers, I was able to read Andy's latest book Mastering the Seven Decisions, which is on sale now but won't be shipped until April 15, 2008. This book is a follow up to The Traveler's Gift.

You certainly don't have to read The Traveler's Gift before Mastering the Seven Decisions, but they cover the same subjects in two completely different ways. His first book is simply a fable that's a light read and very enjoyable. It's about a man who meets seven different people from the past and future and gives him some guiding principles. This latest book takes his first one a step further.

Mastering the Seven Decisions takes a hands on approach with application. Throughout each chapter, Andy gives you several questions to help you apply each "decision" he discusses. There's a good bit of repetition from the first book, but to be honest it didn't really bother me. The stories Andy uses to make his point are fun to read. This book was a nice refresher. It reminded me to check my compass when it comes to personal growth.

The Traveler's Gift

For my birthday a few weeks ago my wife gave me a copy of The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews. Today, I sat outside during lunch and finished it up while enjoying a GORGEOUS day. The book was an enjoyable read.

It’s about a fellow who feels like his life is falling apart. Well, it is falling apart, but in the midst of one major crisis, he finds himself visiting famous people of both past and present who share with him some wonderful little nuggets of wisdom.
