The Traveler's Gift: Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success

The Traveler's Gift: Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success is one of the most profound and biblically sound books on finding personal success that I have read. In an entertaining and enlightening manner the author weaves history, fiction, and life changing principles in an easy to read little book that will change your outlook on life. If you only read one book a year, then make this the book you read.

American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House by Jon Meacham

American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House (New York Times Notable Books) is one of the most rewarding biographies I have read. Although Meacham's main focus is on the Jackson's years in the White House and spends the majority of time to helping the reader develop an understanding of the people that surrounded Jackson and the politics of the time, the author does give you insight into the life of man. You come to know the Jackson before White House, the Jackson in the White House and after the Jackson after the White House.

The book is very readable and the author makes it very easy to relate to the politics and problems of the time with current reoccurring issues of today. The author does not try to sugarcoat the man nor does he attempt to pass judgment on the person. He does help th reader relate to culture and public opinions of the time.

Jackson could be an outstanding example of depravity of mankind; but he also had many great a rare qualities that caused a growing nation to rally around him. I was pleased that the author included his conversion encounter in his later years.

For anyone that has a flare for modern politics and/or enjoys history, I recommend this book. As mentioned before, the book is very readable and pack full of rewarding benefits.
