Book Review
Wingman: Vital Connections for the Struggles Men Face
Wingman was written by the pastor who officiated Jennifer and Mark’s wedding, someone I consider a good friend. But Frank has a much stronger personal bond.
Great by Choice
Great by Choice is the third of Jim Collins’ books which I have read and enjoyed. This one struck me as being not only about building a business.
Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War
Gates treads lightly when comparing the two administrations. He prefaces the book, and most of his comments wherein he differed with either Bush or Obama.
King and Maxwell
Having tried a number of new authors recently, and being universally disappointed, I decided it was time to return to one of my favorites, David Baldacci.
Revolution By Murder: Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman, and the Plot to Kill Henry Clay Frick
This book focuses on the lives of one anarchist, his wife, and the man that Andrew Carnegie put in charge of his steel empire, Henry Clay Frick, who they attempted to assassinate.
The Empty Quarter
Before reading this book my notion of PJs was something in which to sleep. Now I know that the USAF has an elite Pararescue Jumper corps that lives by the motto “That Others May Live”.
Red Sparrow
Red Sparrow was promoted on my new Kindle page white book reader. The reviews made it sound like the author was soon to be in the same category as Clancy, Grisham, and Baldacci.
Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy
At a time when much of the world was either enticed with or entrapped by fascism, Dietrich Bonhoeffer dared to live the morally responsible Christian life to its most expressive, and tragic, end.
The Art of Possibility
Mr. Zander is a wonderful conductor and gives a tremendously motivational keynote speech. It was quite amazing that how he turned a room of roughly 3,000 financial services professionals.
