5.0 out of 5 stars What a book! Don't pass it up!, August 3, 2000

By	Renae (Stuarts Draft, VA USA) - See all my reviews

A close friend recommended this book to me. I ordered it thinking it would be a book to just skim and think about. It is far more than that. With potent quotes, applicable scriptures,and readibility, this book is perfect for anyone who needs a 'pick me up' in life or to give to someone you know who is having difficulties in life. It has changed me, I now give it as a gift and people love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The most wisdom ever in such a skinny book, November 21, 2002

By	Tracy Saurus "Librarian by day, Bacardi by night" (Mililani, HI United States) - See all my reviews

Most books of this caliber are fat little paperbacks with tiny print; this book was easily readable in a few hours of one day, and it gave me the most modivation ever. John Mason gives biblical examples, short personal examples, strong insparation, and invaluable advice for each nugget - each no longer than a page (front and back). After reading my friend's copy, I ordered my own and highlighted all the parts that gave special sparks in my soul. It's short, to the point, wonderfully put together, and makes you see many things inside yourself in many different lights. I recommend this for anyone who wants to brighten their lives and get into positive thinking =D

5.0 out of 5 stars Very motivational and inspirational, October 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Enemy Called Average (Audio Cassette)

The book is laid out in nice, easy to digest nuggets with scripture references. Mr. Mason's emphasis on God's will for us to be unique is a nice touch. Overall, anyone who has ever wrestled with low self-esteem, lack of confidence or faith, will benefit greatly from the book.
