Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
As the founder and president of The DeMoss Group, a public relations firm devoted to serving Christian organizations and causes, DeMoss believes wisdom is simple, plentiful and in no way reserved for the elite or highly educated. However, it doesn't hurt to have a Judeo-Christian perspective on the world; for DeMoss, "God is the source of all wisdom," and the lessons contained herein come from the Bible (especially Proverbs), public figures like evangelist Billy Graham and golfer John Daly, regular Joes and DeMoss's own experience. Eschewing a simplified approach to advice-giving, DeMoss uses narratives to convey his lessons, insisting that "We're not talking about New Year's resolutions here; we're talking about every person's option, sooner or later, to live deliberately." Though it will appeal largely to a religious audience, DeMoss's arguments debunking commonly accepted falsehoods-like the myth of the "self-made millionaire" and the limitless promise of technology-are definitely timely, and his common sense approach to chapters like "The Power of Understatement" and "Work Less, Think More" has universal appeal.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sprinkling of insights on good judgement..., March 16, 2007
I expected this book to be focused on business-related principles. I thought that because I found it in the business section of my local bookstore. However, there is a mixture of wisdom between pratical, professional, inter-personal and spiritual. With that said, the emphasis is spiritual.

Additionally, I thought the book was going to contain shorter tidbits of wisdom. You know, kind of punchy pieces to ponder. Instead the book includes mostly personal stories from the author's own life, and as a result it ends up being biographical and anecdotal.

I liked the chapter titled 'Buy some stamps' - Reclaiming the lost art of letter writing.' However, instead of focusing on why letters don't get written much anymore and how meaningful they can be, I wish the chapter gave more pratical advice for what makes a memorable letter and how to proceed in writing one.

Here are some of the other chapters I liked...

1. A Matter of Death and Life - Life is brief
2. Stay Under the Umbrella - Keeping your focus in life
4. The Amazing Power of Understatement - Under-promise, over-deliver
5. Work Less, Think More - Good thinking requires some effort
9. Good People Are Everything; Money Isn't - Building a winning corporate culture
16. A Proverb a Day - Wisdom for every aspect of your life in one short book
18. Shut Up and Listen - Learning to listen more than you speak
20. Anticipate Deathbed Regrets - Take steps now to avoid regrets later in life

5.0 out of 5 stars Good fatherly advice, May 4, 2007
I read 2-3 chapters every morning while sitting on my patio w/ the dogs. Each morning I walked away w/ something positive.

Much of the advice reminded my of lessons my father taught me while growing up that I didn't really listen to. I'm glad I had the chance to hear it again while my dad is still around, so I could thank him for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read with rewarding insight, March 19, 2007
By Syd Vaughn (Georgia) - See all my reviews
The Little Red Book of Wisdom is a great book to keep by your bed and read one of the short chapters before turning in for the night. It will definitely inspire you and provide you with food for thought during the next day.
