This abridged version of the bible will save anyone the hassle of combing through 1000+ pages of ancient dialogues, poems, and lineages.

From the perspective of a former Christian, this definitely recaps all of the stories I remember hearing as a child. Several years of church summed up in one afternoon of reading, minus all of the guilt and interpretations that people still argue about. I definitely recommend to anyone interested in the history of Christianity. By the end of this reading, you'll probably wonder how religions such as Scientology are mocked while the similarly obscure story of the Bible is so widely accepted.

I give this a rating of 666 stars, 10 horns, 7 angels, 7 plagues, and 7 bowls of doom.

Amen.

Simple, concise writing with well-described characters and a good plot. I give this page-turner a thumbs up. A quick read that can be read in one sitting. Good job Mr. Costantino!

This is a very short book: something like 113 pages with not a lot of page surface for words. It's one of those books that should really have been longer (to get your money's worth) but couldn't really be without distorting the clarity of the message.

It is a quick and enjoyable read, and it has a lot of real life examples and ideas. Most of it is commonsense, but that doesn't mean it isn't useful. It is all about the excellent service that a mail carrier provides over his career, and why he chooses to go "above and beyond" all the time with his dedication.

It reminds me a lot of another book called "Fish! A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results". We read both books for our workplace book-club and enjoyed both. Both were written by motivational speakers, and both try to work their way into a whole teaching program with awards and special terms and the like. Personally, I don't care for this type of commercialization, and I'm not about to go out calling people "Freds" or hand out "Fred" pins, but I darn well am going to look at the message of the book seriously and take it to heart.

I recommend this as a book that will appeal to a lot of people because it is not intimidating (especially to non-readers) and because it is written in an easy conversational style. (I think it is a good book for reading clubs.)

And finally, as one of my favorite lines in the book said (spoken by Abraham Lincoln) "Whatever you are, be a good one."

The book is so succinct, nice and simple, and fun to read in a short while.. The book is so easy to read, it did not even need to have page numbers -- but then again, who cares, right?

Ok, seriously, the one word I liked most in this book is "undead."  Look for it!

I was given a copy by the author in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed reading this 112 page (PDF copy) book. Each chapter contains a different rule to help improve your life. Even though this book is short, it has a lot of wisdom in it. It would work well for daily reading as an uplifting start to your day. The statements are simple but impactful. "The Art of Winning" could be read in under 30 minutes, but it took me much longer. I really wanted to take the time to fully grasp and understand each section.

Excellent read! Short chapters, to the point & thought provoking.. When someone lives a life of purpose, they produce. When someone lacks purpose, they tend to consume. Yet this is not a follow your bliss book, or Life Purpose for Dummies. Rather its about the moment. Each moment (whether trivial or massive) telling us something that will ultimately shape our next. This book outlines a simple 4-step process to help see all situations constructively rather than destructively. Binks don't ask why something happens but rather what do they mean. All meanings are solely what we give them. Life happens and every moment has a message or Bink. Its up to us to recognize them, seize them and capitalize on them. This simple review can even be a review readers Bink. This book belongs on the coffee table not bookshelf. Its contents can be re-read in any order. Fast, short chapters & to the point its an excellent read!

If you want light reading to pass the time, this book is for you. Each story is short, so you can complete it in a matter of minutes if you have only a few minutes to relax.

It's a quick, short little read, but its a good one. l'Engle discusses her thoughts on writing and publishing. I ad it in one sitting. Classic L'Engle stuff, but in a nice quick read.

This is a succinct, easy-to-follow guidebook that reminded me to actively choose how I spend my time. It challenged me to think about the impact I want to leave behind, and look back on my life with pride rather than just having survived.  Do I still add value to the committees I serve on?  Do I have a plan for the day? Can I do something better with my free time?

I also like the idea of tapping into my yearnings - the things that I love to do that energize me.  As a CEO, I am reminded that every employee has yearnings of their own. I would like to help them balance their workload to make room for doing what they are passionate about.

Whether you are just starting your career, feel there is something missing in your professional life, or just want to make small changes to make sure you're investing your time on what matters most, this book is a great resource.

This is a wonderful book which is easy to read in a short space of time - a bonus in our fast paced world. I loved Kelly's tips and strategies for making the best use of the time available to us, shifting negative mindsets, and giving ourselves permission to be who and what we want to be, without finding a multitude of excuses for not being as successful as we'd like to be (or think we should be). Kelly has the ability to convey as many useful tips in this short book, as many others take hundreds of pages to achieve.

This book is ideal for the busy person who wants to achieve goals but is busy with the average "stuff" in life. Anne Bachrach lays out a strong case of why you want your life better, then she proceeds to give specific steps to make it happen.

I particularly like the fact that she kept this succinct and to-the-point for busy people. We want results. She shows how to achieve those results in a fun, quick read. This is particularly good because you can review this frequently and read it when you need it on one of "those" days.

This is a great book to get, read and then re-read as you move forward with your goals. Get this book and go for your goals!

This is a short and easy book to digest and is filled with moments that are easy to identify with, as far as setting goals for our own self-improvement and fitness. It shows how you don't really need a whole lot of preparation, just a good coach/buddy to help keep you on track for your goals. I recommend it to folks who are wary of hiring a trainer or who are skeptical of their own ability to really improve their health and fitness within the limits of a busy career/family schedule.

It was short and sweet. Very concise, and I loved reading it. While I would liked more none the less a summary is always perfect

I bought and read this short little book just in time for this Thanksgiving, and ended up posting a few bits on Facebook for friends and family members. If you need some words to accompany your holiday and by which to express your feelings, this may be the perfect little companion. And the price is entirely reasonable.

I loved all these stories.  They were the perfect length for a quick read when I only have a few minutes to myself.

I found this short book easy reading, without being overly condescending. In particular I appreciated the short list of on-line resources.
