Forty-six-year-old David Ponder feels like a total failure. Once a high-flying executive in a Fortune 500 company, he now works a part-time, minimum wage job and struggles to support his family. Then, an even greater crisis hits: his daughter becomes ill, and he can’t afford to get her the medical helps she needs. When his car skids on an icy road, he wonders if he even cares to survive the crash. But an extraordinary experience awaits David Ponder. He find himself traveling back in time, meeting leaders and heroes at crucial moments in their lives—from Abraham Lincoln to Anne Frank. By the time his journey is over, he has received seven secrets for success—and a second chance.

Weigh Up About Books The Traveler's Gift: Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success

Good afternoon readers! This week I'm going a little off the beaten path. As most of you know, I almost always write about a mystery in my blog posts. But this week's book was a little different, and it might be something of interest to you if you need a little pick-me-up in your life. :-)The Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews is a wonderful fiction book about a forty-something-year-old man named David Ponder who's a bit down-and-out on his luck. He lost his job, his daughter needs her tonsils out,

If you like feel-good pop psychology plus bad theology then you will like this book. My antenna went up when I saw the endorsement by Robert Schuller. The first decision was okay--every one needs to take responsibility. But the second, seek wisdom, was where I got off. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and that is not Andrew's premise by a long shot.But the time Andrews got to Anne Frank's decision to be happy and to laugh for seven seconds the first thing each morning, I started

7 Decisions that Determine Personal Success1. The buck stops here. President Truman. Forget the past and quit blaming it on yourself or someone. You are responsible from this day forward.2.

Do something. Don't be paralyzed by fear. Make decisions.4. Have a decided heart. Christopher Columbus. Decide

Are you a poor, miserable, lazy, slob? Then CHOOSE not to be. There. Now youve read the book, too. (Oops, sorry. Im going to forgive myself for that harsh comment so I dont spend eternity chained to the Mirror of Regret.) Perhaps it would have been more persuasive if written without the pretense of being a fictional novel and simply left in the category of self-help. Andy Andrews could have used the historical figures as compelling examples just as effectively and probably with more grace

Read for a book club and I otherwise would not have finished it. It is poorly written and full of recycled self-help mantras from a narcissist who imagines his own greatness to mankind. As for the historically inaccurate time travel (was Columbus looking for a new trade route or the New World full of possibilites? the author fluctuates between both), I think Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was better done and at least more fun.

I try not to give out one star ratings lightly. I only give them to what I think are the worst books, the books in which I can say afterwards that they were a waste of my precious time and I wish I had those moments of life back. This book I feel is worth that one star rating. This is a pop psychology self help book with a religious undertone. As is popular with self help material, the author broke his work into a list. Surprisingly, he did not create an acronym to describe the ideas as well.For

This book is life changing! A great teacher of how to make decisions in your life that will push you forward. God's got your back and always wants the best for you. Everything in His timing! Don't leave anything in the storeroom- this part will make you rethink your life!
