some of the best narration I've heard in a while

Revisado: 04-23-25

it's not only a good book with a lot of stuff that like God's already been pushing me towards, but the guy who did the narration was great. lots of inflection at the right point that made the text come alive.

I enjoyed the world he created

Revisado: 03-14-25

I really enjoyed the series and the world that he created. some of the battles were a little short but he spent a lot more time developing the characters than telling battle stories

a gritty story that needs to be heard

Revisado: 06-18-21

the language can be a little rough around the edges specially toward the end as he really describes the true feeling of PTS but it's still a story you need to know and the person who enjoys freedom in America that is anything but free

excellent guide book for hiring

Revisado: 05-16-21

as the managing partner of a company which largely recruits directly from colleges and rarely hires experienced candidates, the concepts and characteristics of candidates outlined in this book were perfectly suited to our organization.

just skip to the appendix

Revisado: 05-27-19

it's an interesting enough book with some interesting stories but if you want to just get the point of the book you could totally skip to the appendix and he lays it all out in short form.

Great story of a historically significant man

Revisado: 04-27-19

It was really easy to listen to this book and the author did a great job of pulling everything together into one coherent biographical story. I rated performance lower though because it was difficult in places to understand some of the original recordings. I felt like they could have been digitally remastered better removing some of the background noise and fuzz of the original recording devices. I could understand leaving a little bit of that for the sake of the experience but I felt like they left too much making it difficult to understand at points.

Jim Collins may be my new favorite author

Revisado: 02-05-19

I've now read three of his four books and I can listen to them over and over again. I just hope that audible will add his original book sooner rather than later

you can definitely skip over to work principles

Revisado: 12-02-18

once I got into the work principles it was a good read. he spent so much time talking about evolution that it was really distracting from the actual point he was trying to make. In fairness, he does say that you can skip over the section on life principles, in hindsight I wish I would have done so.

Wolrd Changing Words

Revisado: 09-24-18

I heard Brad speak on a Wednesday and picked up his book immediately on Audible then listened to the whole thing the following Sunday in just one sitting...

Well almost one sitting - I was just getting into the second chapter while filling my car up with gas at the corner store where I always go. Most of my adult life I have been generous but I was kind of generous only in grand ways like with a large checks that allowed me to feel good about myself without actually getting my hands dirty. But this day as I was listening to his book, a guy pulled in at the pump behind me and from the look of the car and his clothing I could tell he didn't have a lot. Almost immediately I felt the nudge, the urge that Brad was talking about in the book. So, I tried to think of a way to do something generous and thought maybe I would leave the pump running and let him fill his car up with gas. But he never came out of the store and my tank filled up, the pump shut off, and I just convinced myself that wasn't what I was being urged to do. I started to drive away, but the urge was so strong that I stopped the car and put it in park.

The previous week somebody also told me about a little thing they did where they put an envelope on somebody's car with a note that said, if you needed the money to take the money, but if you didn't need it, to put some more money in the envelope and pass it on to the next car. So I sat there with the car in park, looking for a piece of paper, going to write that same note, but there were no slips of paper that were remotely feasible for writing such a note and while I was looking for paper the guy walked out of the store anyway. So I had to do the unthinkable. I had to interact with a stranger.

Even as I was getting out of the car I was thinking about whether I was going to offend the guy or what might happen if I offered to give him money. But I quickly came up with a story that I figured would make him feel good about taking the money if he needed it and eased my concern about somehow hurting his feelings. I told him that somebody else gave me this $10 bill and told me that if I needed it, I should keep it and if I didn't, I had to find a total stranger and pass it on to them, giving them the same charge.

So, tapping on his window I said, hey you don't know me and told him my little made up story and here is $10. If he needed it, he should keep it and if he didn't, he should pass it on. The response was surprising to say the least. He told me that his $300 rent was due and he only had $295 and was there trying to figure out how he could get the store to let him charge money to a credit card or something. His girlfriend was never going to believe that some random stranger gave him the $10 that they needed to cover the rent. I told him well, I guess that's the way God works. God bless and have a good afternoon.


Wow, we really do serve an amazing God with a spirit that works a lot of angles to prepare our minds and hearts to do simple things for even the least of these - a cup of cold water in his name. Praise God for the blessing of being able to be generous. And thank you God for books like this teaching me something new about generosity and the impact of just two mites.

good concepts for any small business owner

Revisado: 09-17-18

I enjoyed the book. Finished it basically in one drive coming back from the beach, but Simon does talk a little bit quiet. I found myself with the audio all the way up and still struggling a little bit to hear what he was saying at points.
