Publisher's summary

This modern morality tale by gifted writer and speaker Andy Andrews teaches seven fundamental strategies for creating a successful life. Much like the best-selling books by Og Mandino, this unique narrative is a blend of entertaining fiction, allegory, and inspiration. Storyteller Andy Andrews gives a front-row seat for one man's journey of a lifetime. David Ponder has lost his job and the will to live. When he is supernaturally selected to travel through time, he visits historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, King Solomon, and Anne Frank. Each visit yields a Decision for Success that will one day impact the entire world

Inspiring!

What made the experience of listening to The Traveler's Gift the most enjoyable?

Great Story!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Traveler's Gift?

In the beginning when the main character was having such a hard time then his life went from bad to worse...could identify with the emotions. As the story unfolded it was such an inspiring experience it made me remember that God is good and life experiences can make a person bitter or better...it's our choice.

One of my favourite books!!

Where does The Traveler's Gift rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Its the best book I've come across on audible.com.

What other book might you compare The Traveler's Gift to and why?

Think and Grow Rich, The Secret, Tapping The Source but it has in it an amazing story that unfolds giving you shivers up your spine reminding us of our true powerful nature.

What does Andy Andrews bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Much more emotion and dynamics.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, David Ponders last meeting...wow

Any additional comments?

I'm recommending this to all of my best friends. Thank you Andy Andrews for this amazing book.

Emotional/Mental Rollercoaster

It’s so rare that I would give anything a five star review. Mostly because I deem something needs to be perfect which rarely happens.

My perfect I mean hitting all the places intellectually, emotionally, spiritually and being rememberable.

That’s why this book got five out of five!

There was historical knowledge and incredible logic. Some thing I rarely come across.

So many times my emotions became so strong I had to express the mother that was: sadness, anger, excitement or being encouraged.

Then there was my spirit coming to life and feeling charged as well as convicted. To learn lessons inside of a great story is a very profound experience.

Then there was being memorable. So many things in this book before I even finished reading it all the way (listening to it), I shared with others because it had profound implications for real life as well as for myself. I wanted to share it with everyone I could and I actually feel changed. I wish I didn’t have so many books on my to read list because I think I should read through this one several more times just to dig in deeper and deeper.

And as for the reader! Since it was the author I feel like it adds even more depth and passion, I enjoyed it immensely and I’m recommending it to so many people.

This is become one of my new favorites which is funny since I typically stick to fantasy or maybe sci-fi and occasionally horror/thriller. This however went beyond typical genres in my opinion. And was much more like edutainment!
