Life Promises for Success is a small compact book, chock full of interesting stories and inspiring quotes. It has Bible verses on one page, and on the opposite page it contains little anecdotes from life and different speakers. I enjoyed reading through the book and learning new quotes as well as fun little stories. However, I found that the scripture verses used seemed to be more of an afterthought on the page when the “real” book was found on the stories and quotes side.
When I ordered the book, I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting into; if it would be Max Lucado like, or a ‘thought a day’ book. In fact, it wasn’t quite either. The book was definitely geared toward reading just a page or two a day, but reading it through in two sittings didn’t seem to dampen the effect of the book or cause it to feel redundant. In conclusion, it was an amusing and sometimes though provoking read, but not deep by any means.

Would you recommend it?
Honestly, I don't know. It depends on what you are looking for really.
Jim Tressel the football coach?
The very one! :)
I didn't know he wrote.
Actually this is just one of his books. I believe he has at least two others out.
That's impressive.
