So, while at Borders getting a new calendar, I found this book. I'm pre-reading it for the heck of it . . . I'm very careful with books and no one would ever know I read it before I gave it. Secret is out. Oops! But, what I like so far is that he'll take the "Fact" and tell a story around it and relate it to one of his 12 Principles for Life. Many things are encouraging as well as funny . . . just what Squirrel Boy needs right now. I pray he'll read it and learn from this wonderful guy!
One of the quotes he shares is this from Maser Jin Kwon, South Korean Martial Arts Master: "In the process of trial and error, our failed attempts are meant to destroy arrogance and provoke humility."
Amen.
Gosh, it was a BLAST shopping today!

I hate shopping but I LOVE bookstores. I can be in and out of a clothing store in 15 minutes but I have to be pried out of the bookstore :) Glad you found Squirrel Boy a good book. I've been known to pre-read a few myself;)
I think my mom would love this book! She loves watching "Walker: Texas Ranger"!
--that is a pretty good show!
He doesn't read your blog does he? SB, I mean.
I saw him interviewed about this book. It sounds like a good one!
None of my children read the blog.
I love the blog. I too have been known to secretly pre read my 8yr old's books too after he got some shall we say "interesting" reading material at school. That is much better since I started homeschooling him (we are an Army family and the base we are stationed at is in a horrible school district). He has yet to figure out why I know so much about every book he has read.
