Interactive Inspiration

Our book? When I first read the title to this book, I immediately wondered what the author had in mind when he developed the title. After reading the introduction, it was clear that Abe Thompson created a book that would motivate me to reflect on my own life and the choices I make. He candidly shares some of his experiences and uses them as a backdrop to discuss larger issues. His discussion on success and failure was particularly poignant. He shares that one of his lifelong dreams was to own a radio station in a major market such as New York. When the opportunity to own a station in Kalamazoo, Michigan came up he initially considered it failure, but then seized the opportunity as a way to expand his already successful professional accomplishments. He then raises the question if you don't end up exactly where you plan in life how do you handle it? Do you pass it up and keep looking for something bigger, sulk and moan and consider it a loss, or do you seize the opportunity and make it work to your advantage? I can't answer these questions for you, but with Thompson's guidance and introspection you can answer them for yourself. MY THOUGHTS, YOUR JOURNAL, OUR BOOK is a unique offering that is a deeply personal read. Abe Thompson offers his views on a variety of topics ranging from parenting, friendliness, and the power of a positive attitude. What makes this book unique is the format, which is highly interactive. Thompson begins by stating that the book is intended to be written in, and the discussion questions followed by the blank lined pages at the end of each chapter are a testament to that fact. By reading the author's inspirational words, taking some time to reflect on the passages, and then answering the discussion questions, readers are sure to find a deeper insight, just as I did.

Exceptionally outastanding,moving and good for the mind

This book gave me an opportunity to really think about all the gifts that God has graciously given me and the fact that I haven't utilized them all. However, I still have time to maximize all my talents as well as all my relationships with the people that have crossed my path in life. This book truly inspired me and has helped me to re focus some of my plans that I originally set out to do this year. I plan to bless others with this book as gifts. I encourage the author to put this book on tape due to the busy way of society. Alot of people that need to hear/read this book might need to hear it in order to grasp all of the significance that it has to offer. Not to discount the awesome art work that was included. This was a divne intervention for me to really get in touch with myself.

Your Thoughts Have Value

This book is great. It encouraged me to write my thoughts down. Alreadey, I have gone back to read them. In reading them again, I've realized some growth. I think that is what the author wanted. This book is a must for people who are guilty of letting their thoughts get away. They are much to precious. I'm sending a copy to my son. He needs to know his thoughts and words have power. It is going to be a great present for several of my freinds.

Real Hope - Not Hype

I am not finished with the book yet, as it is highly interactive. It's down to earth and written from the heart. This book inspires creative thinking and guides the reader to set and achieve real personal goals, instead of the hype many inspirational books are riddled with. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to live life, and not simply exist in life.
