Andy has developed a sure fire method of really teaching and embedding seven life changing principles into your daily life. Enough said... Read this book and change your outlook on life...
Rating: Summary: Very inspiring Review: This book really helped me to see myself in a new light. I am going to try some of the seven steps, maybe all of the seven steps. A good read.
Rating: Summary: A must have Review: This book was given to me by a close friend who knew just how much I needed it. A perfect book for a cross-country (USA) flight.Whether you are down and out or just need an attitude adjustment, this book will rock your world. If it doesn't, read it until it does. If it doesn't change your outlook, improve your vision of the future, or clear up your goals, I don't know what will.
Rating: Summary: The Traveler's Gift Review: This book, if applied, can change your life. It takes what could be a real life situation, one which millions of people have probably experienced and puts everything into context. The underlying meaning of the 7 decisions is amazing. Andy brings all the ideas, concepts, and future into perspective. If more people took responsibility for where they are and lived their lives accordingly we would all have a better place to live. Don't just read it, live it.
Rating: Summary: The Traveler's Gift Review: This is an excellent book to keep with you and review often. The information will enhance your life. It is simply written. I believe it should be used as a teaching tool in schools and churches. In the book there are seven historical mentors to the man that has hit bottom financially, spiritually, emotionally and physically. These historical mentors are King Solomon, Harry Truman, Ann Frank, Colonel Chamberlain, Abraham Lincoln and two more that are most inspiring. This book will enhance your life. READ IT!!!

Rating: Summary: An Imaginative Inspiration Review: This little book is brilliant, not only in its message but also in how it is presented. Andy Andrews combines history with inspiration and succeeds! The story is fairly simple: a man, dissatisfied with his life, finds himself in an accident and unconscious. During this period of immobility the dissatisfied man meets several people from history who relate the laws of success in various forms. The first rule of success is "The Buck Stops Here" (Harry Truman), second "I Will Seek Wisdom" (King Solomon), third "I Am A Person of Action" (Colonel Chamberlain, Civil War Hero), fourth "I Have A Decided Heart" (Christopher Columbus), Fifth "Today I Will Choose To Be Happy" (Anne Frank), sixth "I Will Greet This Day With A Forgiving Spirit" (Abraham Lincoln) and seventh "I Will Persist Without Exception" (Archangel Gabriel). The concept behind this book is unique and highly evolved. Andy Andrews has accomplished something here and after reading this book you may as well. Imagine the impact on one's life if we all had an opportunity to learn from the historical masters our life lessons. While such an experience will never happen in our actual lifetimes it is never too late to pick up a book and learn something new each and everyday. This is one of those books and it even includes a bibliography for further advice from those wise old owls not quite forgotten in the shuffle by a few who care.
Rating: Summary: Not bad Review: This review addresses the cd-audio edition of the Traveler's Gift. This work is probably better appreciated in the print form, as sometimes the story was a bit slow-moving, and other times, one wants to linger over some of the points (specifically, the seven decisions).
Also, the narrator often sounded like he had just a little bit of excess moisture in his mouth. I kept wishing he would pause and swallow before continuing!
All in all, a very sweet, thought-provoking little story with a nod to "It's a Wonderful Life."
Rating: Summary: Great Motivational Book Review: This was a great book to encourage people who are struggling with cicumstances in their life. I was just coming out of a life crisis when I read this book and it really opened my eyes to see life in a new form. It was encouraging to learn the seven steps and how to apply them to your life. The way the book was formatted was an easy read. Plus, once you start you hate to put the book down. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to better themselves, their lives and the people around them.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful modern parable Review: What a beautiful book this is. The author, Andy Andrews takes us on a fictional tour through time travel with his protagonist, David Ponder. David is at a time in his life where he feels helpless and hopeless, because he feels he has lost everything of value in this life. We visit many important times and people from the Civil War to Heaven, meeting characters at the pivotal moments in their lives, and he learns from their reactions during these times. The seven lessons David learns through his travels are beautiful, moving and ones we should all embrace throughout our lives, not only in times of pain. READ THIS BOOK. You will not be the same
