Rating: Summary: God's helpers come in all shapes and sizes Review: My favorite author is Og Mandino- My only wish was to meet him before he died... Being a public school teacher for 16 years, I offer this book as "extra credit" to any of my students who read it and then write a one-page summary. This book is powerful- it can change lives and let people know that their situation may not be as bad as it seems.... It also gives a message of hope that in any situation you should never,never give up!

Rating: Summary: One line can not sum up this author's accomplishment!!! Review: The story is more than heartwarming, it's OG again. I read it in three sittings, and the tears flowed like the recent storms in California. It illustrates the warm feeling of people who have made an impact on others, the thin threads, if you will. This is IT!!! The ending is IT! John Harding is a real American hero, a true example of struggling with life, himself and winning. A premium example of "people helping people help themselves". A great example of one man soul searching. This would be a great gift to any dad, especially those who are into sports with their kids. There are many "Tim Noble"s out there, and this book explempifies the crucial role we have as parents in our responsibilty to our community and our children, who are our future leaders
Rating: Summary: The Twelfth Angel Review: The Twelfth Angel was a very emotional book that portraid the life of a man with a broken heart. It used a lot of forshadowing wich was hard to follow at times but was a main part of the story. It was a very predictible book that at times had you hanging by tip of your seat. I didn't rate the book very high because it was at times hard to follow but had a good plot that showed that he was a deep writer. Over all I thought it was a fine book and suggest that if you like drama and sad books with good endings it is the book to read.
Rating: Summary: 5 Stars Not Enough For Such A Life Changing Story As This Review: The Twelfth Angel, by Og Mandigo, is truly an inspiring and heartfelt story. This story left such an unforgettable impact on me that I know I'm likely to ponder it for years. Everyone should absolutely read this book, especially those in need of inspiration and hope. This book leaves you with tears, with hope you never knew you had, and with the wanting to never give up.I don't want to give away too much, but this book is about a young, diligent, succesful, loving man who moves back to his small hometown of Boland, NH, with his wife Sally and their young boy Rick. When tradegy strikes, John has to struggle to cope. His life is shattered and he ultimately looks to suicide as an answer. Fortunately, his old friend, Bill helps him out of the gutter, which is where his life now lies, by asking him to help coach the boys little league. Uncertain, John finally accepts. The day of tryouts John notices a boy who is smaller than any of the other kids, whose baseball hat and clothes look about two sizes too big on him. This little boy isn't very good at baseball, but he kept on trying, the whole time with determination and a big smile on his face. Although some of the older and better kids laughed and smirked at his constant mistakes and misses, this little boy was never put down and never stopped. And to John's surprise, this boy was amazingly the splitting image of his boy Rick! At first John had even thought he could have been Rick. This little boy, Timothy Noble, was by far the worst player of all the kids who tried out, and who had managed, almost as if by destiny, to end up on John's baseball team, receiving a jersey with number twelve on it. Early on in the baseball season, John noticed that there was something very genuine and original about Timothy. What John and Timothy both don't know, is that their relationship will become very close, as they both need each other more than they can imagine. I absolutely loved this heartfelt story. I even had tears gushing down my cheeks as I neared the end of the book. I think that this book is truly inspiring and comforting. I loved how caring and concerned John was of Timothy, and I especially loved little Timothy Noble and how happy he was. I was truly touched by this story and will always cherish everything I learned from this book. The lesson I think that Mandigo was in a way trying to get across is that you must be positive and have at least a good-maybe even a great-outlook on life, no matter what comes your way. If you are positive, you have a positive feedback, making your life richer everyday and in many different ways. I really enjoyed Og Mandigo's writing style, as he was very, very vivid with his descriptions. I definitely plan to read more of his books in the future, and I would recommend this book to anyone who can read!
