Making Ripples

By Mike Breaux

Mike Breaux doesn't do life halfway---maybe that's why he thinks a 'cannonball' is the only suitable entry into a swimming pool. 'Deep down, I think all of us sense we were put on this planet to do something significant---to touch someone's life; to do some good.' Again and again, he's seen the cannonball approach make that happen. 'Water goes flying everywhere! The ripples go out, hit the side, and come back in.' In this book, Breaux shares the concept of creating 'ripples'---where a life touches a life, which touches a life, which touches a life.

Phenomenal little book

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).

Great read, fast paced, and inspiring message

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!

Loved it!

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.

Fun for all.. I liked it. I liked it alot!

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.

Inspiring and thought-provoking

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.
