Helping me to acheive my dream

My dream is to get in shape and to run a sprint tri. I have that as a goal, but work and other pressures always get in my way. The book Put Your Dreams to the Test, by John Maxwell, helps you to visualize your dream and to make concrete steps to acheive it. I admit that I have done the whole program yet, but I am off to a good start and think the questions in this book will help me to acheive my dream in time.

Book Review: Max on Life

I still need motivation to get it better shape, but summer got away and I still need to do better. This book was helpful to me as I pondered some of life's big questions: Why do bad things happen to good people? Why does God let bad things happen at all? While I found reading it cover to cover a bit tedious, the answers that the author provided to the questions were useful and, as always, he provides the spiritual references to back it up. All in all, it was a book I might use as a reference, but not as an entertaining read.
