I totally understand that MOST of you read through Romancing Royalty during 2006, but for those of you who didn’t, I want to encourage you to read through it during 2007. This book contains 365 powerful devotions that will draw the reader closer to King Jesus. With over 100 guest authors, this is one of the best devotional books you can find. I am convinced that this tool will help you in your spiritual development. For those of you who completed it during 2006, why don’t you post your comments on what it meant for your spiritual journey? And again, for those of you who did NOT read through it, it’s not too late to begin. We are still in the first week of 2007. Every devotion has a text, a story, a prayer, three study questions, and a place to journal. Why not start off the year on the right path? This book can be purchased at the Praises bookstore or at the website, www.callonjesus.com
I am going to TRY to review and promote one great book a month. I receive sooooooo many books and I try to read as many as possible, and although I don’t get to read all of them I want to try to pass on to you some of the good ones that don’t normally get a lot of press.
My first choice to share with you was a book I just recently received and YES I’ve been reading this on breaks while I’ve been doing jury duty. 🙂
A good friend of mine named Thomas Ellsworth who has been very successful at getting start up companies off the ground and was one of the key principles in helping a company named JAMDAT. Any games that are put on your cell phone probably was designed by Jamdat. If you ever drive down the 405 freeway you’ll see a big office building that has the name JAMDAT on top. That’s the company Tom helped make a success.
Although Tom has moved on to help another company he continues to be the best at what he does and is often sought after for advice and wisdom within the business community.
Tom recently wrote a book titled The Rat, The Race, and the Cage. Written to help anyone who is contemplating a career move. So often, people struggle with being fulfilled in their current position or company and spend many sleepless nights trying to discern if they should move on to another company or remain in the same job they have now.
From the insight and experience that Tom has gleaned over the years he came up with a very simple yet profound illustration of the rat, the race and his cage.
He uses this analogy to help one in making wise career changes. His underlying purpose as stated is to provide “A SIMPLE WAY TO GUARANTEE JOB SATISFACTION AND SUCCESS”.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is wondering if they are in the right career or not. I would recommend this book to anyone who is contemplating making a serious career path change. Included in this 79 page book are some questions and charts that will help you decipher your “own career compass”.
