This is a great book of inspiration. I found many ideas I already believe in, and use in meditation. It is a good reminder for those who have found the value of silence and reflection. Christina has also shared her passion for all of God's gifts and her strong faith, which is infectious! Reading this book on my Kindle I kept thinking there is something for everyone. It is a short read which is good for quick inspiration whenever a little attitude adjustment is needed.

This book is full of unique prompts that will get you thinking about things you haven't thought of before. It also contains a ton of quotes that are related to creativity that also get you thinking. I really look forward to filling it up over the next several months. The prompts are mostly shorter topics that can be done in little 5 or 10 minute blocks.

My main reason for picking this book up was not for personal inspiration, but rather for more practical reasons associated with my work at a college. I am often called on to develop teaching and learning guides, training materials and various project documents. Quotes are a great tool for drawing people in to a piece, enhancing learning of the content, and providing focal points for discussion. If they can inspire and motivate as well, all the better. For me, where The book of Positive Quotations really excels is in its excellent organization of the highly nuanced categories of quotes it includes, which extends to its very well conceived index. Instead of just a section on quotes related to "goals", for example, you have associated topics of "achievement," "determination", and "hard work." This allows the reader to easily evaluate just which nuance they are looking for. Though there are indeed many quotes which are inspirational, the book really reflects a very broad range of human experience. For this reason, its practical usefulness is similarly broad and would be a useful tool for anyone who writes a lot or makes presentations as part of their job.  My only suggestion for improvement would be to include a cross-reference section which lists those quoted alphabetically and provides the occupation and time period of the quoter, and perhaps the context of the quote. All in all, however, this book provides the most substance of any quote book I have seen.

I have always found quotes so inspiring and this book is full of wonderful quotes that did not disappoint.  I really enjoyed that all of the authors of the quotes were not all from the typical people we are familiar with.  I found the authors to be as diverse as the content.  I downloaded the book to my iPad so I can always refer back to this book and find just the right inspiration and motivation whenever needed.  Perhaps some of our leaders should read and practice the quote from Martin Luther King, "I have decided to stick with love.  Hate is too great a burden to bear."

Love, love, love this book. The author has great insights and I found the book inspiring. Also the "mini-missions" were bite-sized, making them easy to try without feeling overwhelmed.

I was fortunate enough to get this title while it was offered for free. Mr. Jackson compiled some of the best inspirational quotes known to man. There were very few I myself had even read before, and I pride myself on being a quote lover too. Not only were the quotes inspirational and I had to take a multitude of notes, but his comments were eye-opening and awe-inspiring. The comments were at times even more inspirational and insightful than the quotes he admires. Mr. Jackson found a way in his comments to make some of the most amazing quotes I have found to date.

This book has really made me think, and question my life and how I will succeed. This is a book I will forever keep in my collection, and reread often to keep inspired. The price is meager, but you can never put a price on priceless knowledge. Thank you Mr. Jackson for a wonderful read.

A More Beautiful Question is a great book for any person who is looking to develop themselves and advance their career or business. It specifically addresses the skill and techniques around asking questions but not just any questions . . . big, meaningful, beautiful questions. It focuses on asking the questions that will help form the catalyst to positive change.

Many times as we advance in our careers, we stop asking questions because we think we know everything. We see this with many experts. However, we need to do the opposite to remain relevant. As David Hackett Fischer said, questions are "the engines of intellect  cerebral machines that convert curiosity into controlled inquiry."  If we want to be successful, we need to strive to be the people that ask questions and fuel the engines of intellect that convert curiosity into controlled inquiry.

A More Beautiful Question provides a framework for the reader to do just that.

I grew up seeing Billy Graham as a pillar of Christianity and biblical wisdom.  I am not sure there is a man on the planet more respected when it comes to Godly Wisdom.  This book takes his quotes, breaks them into categories and adds a bible verse for reference.  This is not your sit down and read novel, but rather a great collection of inspiration on such topics as:  Anger, Anxiety, Children, Commitment, Death, Family, Forgiveness, Grace, Heaven and Hell, Loneliness, Marriage, Patience, Prayer, Right and Wrong, Suffering, and Worry.  And yes, all in alphabetical order just as I have listed them here!  (Which is great for the type A in me!)

For instance, I am right there with him on his thoughts about family.  He is quoted as saying, "No subject is closer to my heart than the family.....The moral foundation of our country is in danger of crumbling as families break up and parents neglect their responsibilities."  I often refer to the disintegration of the basic family unit as the core of our crumbling society.  If there is no commitment and loyalty at home, then where will you show commitment and loyalty.  And I echo his words again when he says, "When the family is destroyed, society eventually disintegrates."  My ultimate favorite quote about family spoke right to the tone in our house sometimes, "More friction and tensions are caused in a family by tone of voice than for any other one reason."  I am often at fault of doing this.  Reading Billy's words reminded me again about thinking before I speak and how not only what I say, but how I say it can have long reaching effects on those around me.

I enjoyed sitting around sharing these quotes with my husband and talking about how they fit in relation to our life and those around us.  So many of Billy Graham's quotes are just good common sense advice for us to read, think about, and use in our lives.  Each section is short and concise, easy to flip through and reference the topics you are interested in.  This would make a great addition to any coffee table!

Some of these quotes are very powerful I especially like the ones about success being built on failures and not giving up.  When it comes from very successful people it is very encouraging. I like using quotes in my signatures and this collection is very inspirational. I work in high tech area where every day is built on solving problems, once you solve a problem you move on to the next one so you can't get discouraged because there is always a new problem to figure out.

The book is fairly short, it is 37 pages including front matter like the introduction.  There are between 2 and 3 quotes on each page but I thought the content itself is one of the better quote collections I have read.

I asked for (and received) an advance copy of Born for This, because I've enjoyed all of Chris's books. The advance copy was great, even though it was not the final edition, which I ordered from Amazon, and hope to receive soon.
Chris's interviews with people who refused to "settle" and instead either found or created the work that satisfied not only their needs but their deepest-felt desires (to create, to make a positive difference, to use their talents, etc.) were inspiring and helptul. He doesn't just say "they did this and you can, too", but lays out a plan for HOW you can do it - what steps to take, how to research, and how to know what will make you happy and "fulfilled".
Whether you are looking for a first career, looking to change your life and career, or just looking for inspiration, Born for This is aimed at you!

This book contains a range of inspirational quotes and colorful, imaginative illustrations in many styles. One can spend a great deal of time on each double-page spread, because there are often so many items to find that undergird the quotes. Proceeds for sales of this book go to support Amnesty International, so appreciating this book helps a worthy cause.
