I recently saw this book among a pile in a picture that Brandi had on her blog. Since I can’t remember the last time I read a fiction book, I decided it was time for a break from curriculum, leadership books, and self-help books.
The story grabbed me from the beginning. I thought I had figured out the ending, but I was dead wrong. If you are looking for a good book this is it!
Let me know what you think of the book when you are done.

Yesterday, I made a check list of all the things I needed to do this week. Some of the tasks on my list required me to research a subject or idea. I found myself getting lost in my research and losing my focus.
I think sometimes we lose our focus with God. Forgetting about what he has called us to do and getting distracted. Sometimes I become focused on myself and my issues and forget about others around me. Jesus said I should love others more than myself.
Ryan Frank has been writing a series of posts on Dale Carengie’s book “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. His post today was on achieving goals. According to Dale Carnegie, there are two simple steps.
- Plan your day to achieve your goals
- Stick to the plan
Yesterday, I made the plan, but I just didn’t stick to it. Each day I need to make a plan on how to love others more than myself, and stick to the plan.
How do you regain focus?
