I don't often get to post what I think about books here, but due to a recent website I found (mentioned at the bottom), I have decided to occasionally do just that. We'll see how it goes!
Winston Churchill. George Washington Carver. The Archangel Gabriel. These and others of the worlds’ greatest and wisest leaders from across time coming together for a meeting of the minds with “Everyman” David Ponder sounds like a very odd and intriguing collaboration. Having not read any of Andy Andrews previous novels, I was unfamiliar with David Ponder and the returning concept of the “Travelers.” Some of the ideas that are pulled together seemed a little bit far-fetched and even silly at first. However, upon reading further, I was able to escape into the story and understand what Andrews is doing with his story.
Many books are written each year that offer perspective on how to grow more successful, strong, spiritual, enlightened, or even intelligent. However, not everyone has the stomach for another self-help book. Andrews takes some very solid moral principles and introduces them in a manner that is much more interesting and easier to swallow. Through some afterward comments, he reveals that he did some research, and while his dialogue was almost completely original and crafted for this book, he did manage to throw in a few direct quotes that he found to be very powerful. The result is a story that gets your attention, and provides challenges for the reader that can be applied in everyday life. The Final Summit may take a couple of chapters to pull you in, but rest assured, once it does, it proves to be worth your time.
For purposes of disclosure, I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksneeze.com.
