This book is amazing. It has helped me so much! I will honestly say, this is the best motivational book out there, if not one of the best books I've ever read. My father had this book in his study...curious to what it was, I picked it up and read it. I had no idea that that one little book of 203 pages, would change my life so much. I'm one of those people that felt like their life was a mess and that there was no hope...after reading this book I felt worthy to have my dreams come true. It talks about how important goal setting is (and shows you how to set them), and that alone has made me more successful and motivated in my life. It talks about self-motivation and self-talk...fascinating details about human behavior. As a 17-year old female...I must say this book is a must-read for all ages! I absolutely love this book! It will change your life and perspective of every complication that may come your way, and if you don't already love yourself...this book will show you how.

"A winner is a person who becomes all that God intends for him to become. He's given us all talents and abilities to use, not to abuse. He hasn't given you dreams to dream so he can taunt you. He's placed those dreams in your heart." Lewis Timberlake "Born To Win"

I first read this book in 1987 and it turned my life around. It gave me an awareness of who God made me to be and what He made me capable of achieving. Second to my Bible, I have never read such eye-opening, encouraging truths. Mr. Lewis relates to his reader's through his use of real-life stories that are both, fascinating and motivational. I loaned my copy to someone several years ago and never got it back and I have missed having it to refer to or loan to other's who need what I needed so many years ago, so I bought another one.

Just when you think that you have no great purpose in life you find out that you do. You are here for a reason and you can do anything against all odds in life. Rise up and start and you will see that you can get there!

This is one of the best books I have read on the subject of goal setting. I hightly recommend it for anyone who want to accomplish more with their life

I work in a recovery ministry and am in fact a delivered alcoholic and this book played a large role in my understanding that I didn't necessarily deserve to fail just because I spent a lot of my life failing. I am a successful businessman now and this book helped shaped my new successful beliefs! You were Born To Win !!!

Have you ever had anything to make you get a hold yourself or to make you wake up and smell the coffee? This book will shake you and make you say and do a lot of positive things. It will make you say thanks for all the good in your life. It will make you jump up and make improvements in your life.

Many of those mentioned in this book overcame adversities and became world renown leaders and atheletes. Some became inventors and we are reaping the rewards of those who were told that they were limited. Thomas Edison was told that he was not able to learn. Because of him we can flip a switch and the lights come on. He created an invention that was the forerunner of the victrola, record play, stereo/high fi. And because of these former things we have cds that give us music to listen to. But yet his teachers could not teach him. And they let him know that he was never going to amount to anything.

Franklin D. Roosevelt led the country out of the Great Depression and through World War 2. Yet he could not stand alone without the support of a leg brace, crutches or a cane. Born to win is most inspirational and I am glad I read it. I reccomend it to everyone. It has a message for winners and for those who think they are losers. There are no losers. Read this book and you will find out why.

An excellent book for people that think they have no hope. This book helps people to realize that everyone can be a winner. Thank you Mr. Timberlake for writing this book. It has been a tremendous help to me.

This book is great for anyone who needs a little direction in their life. "If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it everytime." This book has rescued many a person from the pit of despair and hopelessness. For me, it gave me the ability to set clear cut,written, specific, definable, and acheivable goals for my life, in every area. This is one of my all time favorite books, right up there with MORE THAN A CARPENTER and HOW NOW SHALL WE LIVE by chuck colson.
