Seller's Description:
Very good. GREAT BOOK! NO SPINE CREASES & MILD WEAR ON COVER. LIGHTLY AGED PAGES, FAINT SPOTS ON OUTER EDGE BUT NO MARKS IN TEXT. From AudioFile\nThis audio program is Bill Bennett's Book of Virtues meets Zig Ziglar. That is, it's about the virtues that the author believes are needed to succeed in life and about the virtues that have brought about American national greatness. The audio program is spiced with contemporary success stories. DeVos, who is the son of Amway's founder and is the current president of that company, reads the work quite well for a non-actor, although there are instances of over-reading. DeVos reads with enthusiasm and clarity at a good pace. M.L.C. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. \n\nFrom Booklist\nThe point of having values by which you lead your life, DeVos says, is freedom--the freedom to do what you want and also, necessarily, he insists, the freedom to do the right thing. He identifies three sets of eight values that he maintains are essential to--in the words of the section titles--"Upholding Freedom, " "Becoming Free, " and "Preserving Freedom." All 24 values he discusses are personal in nature; that is, although most are social in their intentions (e.g., reliability, fairness, stewardship, charity, etc. ), individual persons, not groups or institutions, must practice them for them to have any effect. Each of the 24 chapters is so directly worded and employs so many real-life stories to illustrate the particular value in action that they bespeak a probable origin in DeVos' public speeches and make the book preeminently readable. Meanwhile, DeVos' assertion of the Christianity he feels undergirds all these values will comfort many readers but, because he never proselytizes or preaches, not put off others who mistrust Christianity. Excellent popular moral teaching. Ray Olson--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
