Guest oda Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 What are some of your favorite books to look to for inspiration? Personally, I keep coming back to "The Wal-Mart Way by Don Soderquist. The fomrer Vice Chairamn & COO outlines the company's 12 keys to success, and while it mainly focuses on examples in a corporate setting, there are also themes that can be applied to every day life.
jevd Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Try John 3:16 and the rest of the contents of the book. JEVD Making the complex understandable.
Don Levit Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Many times, storytelling can be a very effective way of receiving inspirational material. The Bible is a very good source, as articulated earlier. Another inspiring book, for me, was "Atlas Shrugged," by Ayn Rand. Don Levit
No Name Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 The Code and Regs, especially the Sections on controlled and affiliated service groups.
Lori Friedman Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 "Now I Can Die in Peace", the story of the 2004 Red Sox, by Bill Simmons. "Mind Game", about how the Red Sox won the World Series, by Steve Goldman. "Why Not Us?", all about the 86-year journey to redemption, by Leigh Montvile. "Blood Feud: The Red Sox, Yankees, and the Struggle of Good versus Evil", by Bill Nowlin. Seriously, now that I've had my fun, here's my real answer: my husband is my inspiration. He spends every day of his life saving children's lives. Whenever I need to be inspired, I just think about him and all the things that he accomplishes. Lori Friedman
Belgarath Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 "Travels with Charley" by John Steinbeck. "The Federalist Papers."

R. Butler Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Try John 3:16 and the rest of the contents of the book. I'll go with your answer. Psalm 23 is my favorite
jevd Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Amen. That's one I favor as well. JEVD Making the complex understandable.
Guest jfunk Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 There is a book that came out recently called "Pure Gold: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at a builder of the Kingdom." I think it's a great story of what one person can do to bring people to Christ. http://www.promontorypublishing.com
Guest ruz12 Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 I get my inspiration from the Chicken Soup Series. It love it because it is composed of many short stories which won't bore you at all. I hate reading books but this one made me read the entire thing simply because it is easy to get along with. You will learn a lot of lessons from this one.

EPCRSGuru Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 The Last Lecture, by the late CMU professor Randy Pausch. Book is terrific--DVD of the actual lecture is even better.
Guest HungersDan Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 The little engine that could.................... Haha great answer! But oh so true as well!
