I picked up this little book and thought, "OK, just another book of devotions." How wrong could I be? Mike Breaux doesn't deal with platitudes and saccharin sweetness. This isn't a "preacher book"--it's a book about a man who found God and how God used him. Breaux uses his own journey and the stories of others he has encountered to show how one life can affect another, with the ripples spreading on and on. For Christians, it's affirming. For those who are seeking, it's encouraging. If you'd like something inspiring to make your day better, read Making Ripples.

In the spirit of Christian endeavor, Mike Breaux challenges his readers to never waste their life. His short chapters help his invigorating and encouraging writing style. The stories are funny and well-chosen.

I read this book in one day but believe the principles are solid and life changing. I recommend this book for anyone who is beginning to think along the lines of "Is this struggle worthwhile?"

Making Ripples is definitely among my Top 5 favorite books. While a short read, it is a powerful portrayal of the affect people have on others either directly or indirectly. I give this book to people in order to underline the importance their words and actions are having on the world around them. Excellent read!

I LOVE THIS BOOK! I READ IT COVER TO COVER THE MINUTE IT ARRIVED IN THE MAIL! MIKE IS SUCH A DOWN TO EARTH GUY AND REALLY KNOWS HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE REST OF US "AVERAGE" PEOPLE. YOU'LL WANT TO GO MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH YOUR LIFE EVEN BEFORE YOU'RE DONE READING IT!

We hope every overnight visitor in our home reads this as we placed it in the guest room after we read it. Easy read and very articulate (as Mike Breaux ALWAYS is in person).

This is a great book for teachers, camp counselors, coaches, Scout Leaders, Sunday School teachers, and Men's ministries. Guys, this book is about making a difference (a ripple) in another man's heart. Don't give up the good fight!

The book is about as powerful as the sermon. Making Ripples is the focal point of Breaux's life as you'll read. You never know what seemingly insignificant action will make a difference in a person's life. I read this book on a long plane ride and the Flight Attendant was asking me questions about it so in the spirit of the book, I gave the book to the Attendant as I was leaving the plane and they thanked me. Hope it helped them as much as it helped me.

Mike makes you sit back and think about your actions and reactions. Indeed, we are making ripples in every random act of kindness.
I'm going to suggest this as a read for the Senior High Youth Group kids at our church! It's a quick, easy, well grounded Christian read.
