He Chose the Nails by: Max Lucado
First and foremost, I found this book outside a coffee shop at about 830 at night in Sunnyvale California. Coffee shop was closed. All the chairs were put away. Nobody was there and on one of the tables outside the patio. This book was sitting there. I was heading to a movie and happened to walk by and because nobody was around and the coffee shop was closed. I decided to take it.  And boy am, I’m glad I did. When you start this book, it starts off in such an awkward way. It starts off in it retail...
The Intentional Father by Jon Tyson
I completed this book in the beginning of January and I must say if you are a father with a child that has not hit high school yet this is a fantastic book to read with him. It will probably give you some great ideas on how to connect with them and maybe set up a plan on how you’re going to bond with them and grow with them as they go and navigate their high school years. It will prepare them for the things that they’re going to deal with and yeah, it’ll even most likely prepare them for...
Completed Book 12/23/21 - Becoming a Barbarian by Jack Donovan
What's the saying? A picture is worth a thousand words Well, here's my picture.I've known about Jack for quite some time and at the request of a friend I was asked for an opinion on this book as it was considered super controversial. The only way to give valid 'respected' input is to read it; so I bought it used...(so the author didn't make any money. For new comers, one only needs to head over to Jack's wikipedia to see that he has been involved in numerous different movements of the extreme fashion. He comes off as a well spoken,...
Completed Book 12/16/21 - As A Man Thinketh by James Allen
I've heard about this book for a long time and for the life of me I cannot understand why it took me this long to read it. This book is literally 40 pages of intense fire knowledge every man should have in their collection. It talks about keeping your thoughts clean and pure. Doing so will lead to a better life. Our lives go the way of our brains and we (men) are the gardener of our brains. One of the analogies that hit home for me was the comparison of working out to get strong and reading to train your...
Completed Book 12/13/21 - Mo' Meta Blues by Ahmir "QuestLove" Thompson & Ben Greenman
The last music related book I read was by Lecrae "Unashamed" which was great..but that was quit some time ago. I say that to say this...my connection to music has been very distant in recent years. What was once my life's passion is now something I reach to if and when I feel I have something of value to say. Aside from that, it feels like a distant memory. If you know me personally, that may sound odd to you knowing my resume.Ok, let's talk about Mo' Meta Blues. I was gifted this book by my good buddy Dan (Trey...
