    Everything that I needed to hear

    I downloaded this book and have listened to it 4 times in less than a week. I have found myself feeling spiritually dead recently and this book is giving me so much hope. It is helping me to become closer to God and to feel like I am finally headed in the right direction. I can't say enough about how much I love this book.

    2nd only to the Bible

    This should be required reading in our public schools as it empowers the individual to achieve greatness, overcome limitations, and put their fellow brothers and sisters before themselves.

    Yes is good!

    It should be part of your library, it is a classic, maybe sounds like old, but to be positive or think positive there is no age!
