The Revolutionary Paul Revere by Joel J. Miller

Everyone knows what Paul Revere did and how he got famous. But, we actually never knew who Paul Revere was! What inspire anyone to do something as brave as Paul did, and what makes great men GREAT is the core of this book.

I will totally agree with the comment on the cover of the book by William J. Bennett which says "Gallops along with all the drama and intrigue of a great novel."

And it truly is so.

Giving a detailed account of life of Paul Revere, author spun an amazing tale of adventure and drama. How Paul came to Boston, death of his father, carrying the responsibility of family and trade, making a life and finally being a patriot for his people. This book has every element of a classic drama. Yet you wonder, this is not a fiction, Its a true life ! And that makes reading even more enjoyable.

Riding on the most dynamic period of American history, this book gives a reason to value such amazing tales of heroism and patriotism. Now, I know why Boston tea party is not merely just another conflict in history and why the RIDE was so much extraordinary.

Readers, its time to get inspired from a story you have never heard before about a name you knew very well. Kudos for Joel Miller.

Hundred percent recommended.

THE VERTICAL SELF by MARK SAYERS

How often do you stop in a party to ask yourself something like - “What’s the point?".

Well, this is something that Mark Sayers makes you realize. Confronting the concept of self in a very rational, yet sticking to the biblical foundations, author gives a very accurate picture of today’s social world. How we have come to an age where everyone lives with a pseudo-identity created out of modern myths. As you read on, you come to know that it’s not your another-self-help book.

Rather, it’s an ideology. One that asks you to be true to yourself and recognize yourself as an image of GOD. As put in the very well written foreword by Leonard Sweet, the kind of self we know today has a brief history. Mark dwells on the influences of today’s social life and gives an account of various selves like the "Social self of Sexy" and "Social self of Cool".

What’s more interesting is the writing style of Mark Sayers. Comparing with the modern image of self as horizontal-self: one that’s being driven by fake desires and skepticism, Sayers offers a vertical-self that reaches up to the GOD.

Comparing both images as if making a simple power point presentation, Sayers gives something very insightful in a very unique package. It’s definitely the time to reach to your vertical-self.

so much of delay...
