Customer Reviews

Publisher's Weekly Missed It

I read "Purposeful Life," and thought it was great. I've never written an on-line review before, but was so incensed at the dismissal in the Publisher's Weekly review cited on this page that I had to say something. I don't think the reviewer did much more than skim it, or if they did read it, maybe they had an axe to grind because of the overtly Christian content. This is a life-changing book for anyone who reads it. The stories are plentiful, but help to flesh out what a purposeful life looks like. Simple? Yes. Simplistic? No. So when White says to go by your values, it isn't just a trite phrase, but is part of a lengthy conversation on how easy it is to miss out on doing just that! PW missed it on this one. Get it, read it, enjoy it.

Illustrative Teaching

I enjoyed reading this book. I am a self-help guru, and love reading books that enhance my spirituality and life goals. This did both. Although it was a little light on the scripture and biblical references, the casual lighthearted stories made for good reading. The illustrations used always suited their purpose and really stuck with me. This is definitely a good book that gives the reader hope for a better life and motivates them to get off their butts and do something! This one will stay on the shelf.
