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.

If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat By John Ortberg
If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat By John Ortberg
Ortberg brings fresh look at Peter’s experience of walking on water. He offers refreshing spiritual insights into Matthew's account of Jesus challenging Peter to step out of the boat that will benefit any reader. The book is easy to read and makes several good points. I especially enjoyed his chapter on fear and his challenge to risk standing for the Lord.
On occasion I thought he was reaching a little and got the feeling that he was stretching to meet the publisher’s page requirements. He also needs to hold onto his day job and not try out for a standup comic act. Some of his attempts to tell a joke were forced at best and many of the jokes have been floating around the Internet for years.
I do however recommend you read his book. He makes several really good biblical points that would help any believer.
