I usually find myself disenchanted with what generally falls in the inspirational or "self-help" genre. You can easily spend your life reading inspirational books and never do anything inspiring, and self help books rarely actually tell you anything you don't already know. Surprisingly, though, all this book talks about is what we already know (or should know), and it does so in a quite refreshing way. Huntsman reminds us of the basic values we learned growing up and takes us back to square one with our consciences. Moreover, the books is fewer than 200 very short pages, and that's always nice...
Genre: Inspirational/Self-Help

I look forward to reading this book, Josh. It's especially enjoyable to read a book when you know a little about the author, and I know a little about Jon Huntsman. And I know a little about his "fruits" and they're pretty good. So according to the scriptures, I know HIM. But, maybe I should read his book, before I get too carried away thinking about all the stuff I know. Thanks for the recommendation.
Hey Josh,
So duh duh...I just found your blog. Amazing! I would love to write a blog like this! It is so interesting to read, and I love that it is all about literature. So, I am totally going to start following it. I read through all your posts (at least the ones on this first page). It has inspired me to read more, and to write! So, I've got another one for you to read "100 years of solitude" by Marquez. Or have you read it? It also won the nobel prize. I am 250 pages into it, and I'd like to know your thoughts!!! Talk to you later!
Michelle
