Hmmmmm. How do you rate a cheesy book with a great message? I almost quit after the first few pages but then after getting to the 1st decision I was hooked.

He lost his job, his daughter needs her tonsils out,
This book was one of the worst things in print I've ever seen. Three problems:1. Main character is 2-D. False and unbelievable. Just a prop to get us into the author's story.2. Author references history - but his facts are WRONG. (Specifically: Truman's apparent reluctance to drop the H-bomb on Japan; history shows that not only did he do it willingly, but he refused to NOT do it when Japan tried to surrender! This incident in the story supports the nice, convenient view that every American
I have read this twice and loved it both times. Would highly recommend it. A quick,easy read that is both uplifting and entertaining.
Fictionalized account of Mastering the Seven Decisions. Both with interesting takeaways.
