Product Review
Using historical personalities (Lincoln, Anne Frank, Truman) and events (Civil War, Holocaust, and World War II), Andrews draws powerful lessons from the past to inspire today's reader. This is not a particularly "Christian" book. Believers and non-believers alike will see the wisdom and usefulness of the seven decisions and their related stories. While there is an undertone of faith, the book is certainly not a "religious" book in the traditional sense.
The story is fairly simple: a man, dissatisfied with his life, finds himself in an accident and unconscious. During this period of immobility the dissatisfied man meets several people from history who relate the laws of success in various forms.
The first rule of success is "The Buck Stops Here" (Harry Truman), second "I Will Seek Wisdom" (King Solomon), third "I Am A Person of Action" (Colonel Chamberlain, Civil War Hero), fourth "I Have A Decided Heart" (Christopher Columbus), Fifth "Today I Will Choose To Be Happy" (Anne Frank), sixth "I Will Greet This Day With A Forgiving Spirit" (Abraham Lincoln) and seventh "I Will Persist Without Exception" (Archangel Gabriel).
