 Wisdom, 2008-05-06
This is a great book of wisdom. It is a wonderful success story and packs much wisdom in it's pages. I believe we all have to be reminded what is important in life, especially in this day and age. I have read it three times so far and have also purchased it for many of my co workers and friends. Easy reading, much wisdom. I loved it.

 The little red advertisement rather than a book, 2008-04-06
This book is more of an advertisement for his little company than a philosophical read. There is nothing in this book that is new or revealing other than his self absorbing with his vanity.

 Packed with good advice., 2008-04-04
Mark DeMoss in his book talks about how his father said success came to him by giving the first hour of the day, the first day of the week, and the first dime of every dollar to God. Mark recommends in his book along with sage advice for your professional and personal life to read a chapter of Proverbs each day because that book of the Bible is packed with wisdom that can be applied to your life. Mark describes in his book about how Billy Graham reads a chapter of Proverbs and five Psalms each day. He says that Billy Graham reads Proverbs to learn how to get along with his fellow man and that he reads from Psalms to teach him how to get along with God. I recommend this book for someone to get a distilled prescription for a successful life from a Christian perspective. I think it would make a great gift for a young adult starting their career or a new family.

Good Things Come in Small Packages, 2008-01-26
Contrary to what one earlier reviewer said, while I do not personally know Mr. DeMoss, I do not think he drops names for the sake of pride. Rather, I found his comments about his perspective on some famous people to be enlightening.
"The Little Red Book of Wisdom" is around 170 pages and contains 23 chapters on topics that while many of us may be familiar of, it does not hurt to be periodically reminded of the wisdom contained in the chapters. While Mr. DeMoss writes from a Christian perspective, readers of various religious backgrounds will benefit from the book.
Among the points covered in the book include:
1. True freedom is the discipline to stick to doing what you're called to do and saying "no" to everything else.
2. Great leaders are great servants.
3. Good thinking requires time alone and being quiet.
4. Make technology a friend instead of a trap.
5. 4 essential motivators of work.
6. 4 phrases, when used properly, can open up opportunities.
7. Ultimately, everything belongs to God.
8. Dare to honor God with your "firsts" (money, time, etc.) and watch Him bless you!
9. Watch the tendency to talk too much and learn to listen more.
10. It is not wise to travel alone with a member of the opposite sex.
11. Be careful not to sacrifice your family and relationship with God in the process of becoming "successful".
12. Worry is useless, so why do it?
Again, while the book's contents may be common knowledge, we need to be periodically reminded of these insights lest we stumble.
Read, enjoy and be encouraged. Highly recommended!

Wisdom, 2008-01-14
An excellant book full of bits of wisdom. Yet, it is consise, and each chapter stands on its own.
Besides you library, it makes a wonderful gift, and a nice addition to a coffee table.
