This book seems really complete, dealing with various things that are important to people in life. I like that it keeps things short and on point.

Latest Review: The Legacy of Job's Wife by Cynthia Koelker

Post by Joy C »

Sounds like a highly inspirational self-help book. We all need the guide and assurance at different stages of our lives. I also find that the author's experiences of achieving more even when he was older would be an inspiration to both the young as well as older persons. Thanks for a great review.

I tend to gravitate away from self-help books; I consider most of them a regurgitation of trite points. But this author's approach is quite fresh particularly the section dedicated to encouraging senior citizens. I do not doubt that the rest of the book will be as worthwhile.

I agree that a 77-page book must be lacking depth. Going to skip this one. Thank you for the review.

Please forgive me, but after reading summary and reviews for this book I still seem to fail to understand what purpose it serves. I seriously doubt that it really can teach you how to became successful in your life. It can't be accomplished by guidebooks, therefore I will skip the book.

This is a unique book, with special aspects, like finding love at 53. It also touches on career, love and marriage and mentorship. I find these quite helpful. Congratulations on the BOTD.

The #BOTD being geared for older readers sounds interesting. I often forget that I am 40 years old and some books on career enrichment are only written for people fresh out of high school. Great review.

Inspirational and self-help books are not my cup of tea. But the review is very enthusiastic and I'm sure there will be readers who will equally appreciate the book. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

The author shows how to achieve success in life with spiritual growth as a key factor. The brevity is a bonus as it makes the book an easy read, full of great information. Anyone seeking a guidebook to achieving success in their lives should give this a read. Thank you for a well-written review

This book sounds wonderfully inclusive. It’s very inspiring that he found love nearing his retirement years. It makes me feel like maybe I’m not doing as badly as I thought.

What an inspiring review, indeed, delay is never denial. As far as one keeps being determined and focused, success is guaranteed. The author really did justice in the book content.

The fact that the author has a lot of experience with counseling leads me to believe he may have good advice to give. I do not usually read self help books but I liked your review.

I don't really read self-help books, but my daughter is currently searching for her pathway in life. This sounds like just the thing she needs to help her along her way. I will definitely be bringing it to her attention. Thanks for the recommendation!

Sounds like the book is targeted at an often overlooked demographic for self-help. So many books and blogs focus on those starting out not those who are older.
