The Race

The Race: Life's Greatest Lesson Wonderful little book. Makes a great gift. Very touching poem of life lessons.

perseverance

This was read beautifully by Stedman Graham to a group session where I was in attendance. You could have heard a pin drop, and most were teary eyed. I purchased the book and gave it to my daughter, who was looking for direction. Great little inspirational book.

Everyone should own a copy

The poem is often used in motivation courses for adults. It should be the first book that every child recieves. And every person should refer to thoughout life. Because it is quite simply an illustration of the reality of life and the importance of not letting it get you down.

Does it really matter how you Start?

This is an exciting book that young and old, Black and White, executive and mailroom, or Blue collar and white collar workers can truly enjoy. It's great for a visual age like ours as it's full of page after page of lovely pictures and easily written so that it's user friendly and bursting with intrigue for all ages. "The Race" kind of grows on you as you read it again and again. It's a great night time story for adults and children. Or find yourself reading it as an eye opener at a Boardroom meeting with executives. It get's to the heart of these questions. Does it really matter how you start? or Matter if you WIN? Does it matter how you run? Or matter if you End? This story is full of hope, for those who've missed their way. Or those who've given up long before, the dawn of a new day. Fight on and never quit, Wipe the tear drops from your face! It matters not whether you win or lose, but if you're in "The Race". ...byDeremiah Dee Groberg & Mac Anderson deserve a lot of credit for putting together this most informative book. It deals with a story all of us can relate to about being involved in a Race. You can learn some very important lessons from this book full of paradox and awesome ambiguity. Adults loved it and I've personally read it to over 55 children I mentor who all throught it was the bomb! You'll find it very thought provoking and worthy of giving to countless friends as a gift...it's cheaper than a McDonald's or Starbucks gift card with a longer shelf life less calories and no aftertaste. But please don't believe a word I'm saying get it and read it for yourself! I liked it so I'm giving it away. Is there anything else I can do for you? Your Servant, Deremiah, *CPE
