 Before You Do November 14, 2008
Before you do, is a good title for my review. I saw this book promoted on the television and was eager to read it. My eagerness began to recede as I did read it though.
The ideas presented on good decision making are very sound from a human perspective. But, from a spiritual perspective, they are lacking.
Good decisions should come from seeking God's will and applying His written Word to life. This is the basis for a believer. That is not what the book builds upon.
The book builds upon human philosphy. There is very little to no Scripture in the work either. To my suprise, there is also eastern religion, philosphy, and stories included.
I am a T.D. Jakes fan and will continue to be. But, this book was disappointing from a spiritual perspective. So, pay attention and know what you are buying - "BEFORE YOU DO".
 One of his Best!! November 11, 2008
Very enlightening as a book of sermons. Spoke on areas of interest that need to be addressed in some of life's most challenging decisions. Would have purchased sooner if only I had realized how powerful it really is...
Get yours today. You won't be disappointed!!
 He's Back! November 9, 2008
Bishop is back. This book returns to the engaging, yet informative style of Bishop Jakes' early books ie. Woman thou art Loosed, 10 Commandments.... If you did not like Reposition Yourself because of all the flowery modifiers and theatrical symbolism, then you'll be happy to read this book. Although the book centers around the decision to choose a mate and draws from his daughters wedding, it provides insight and strategies to making any type of decision i.e. financial, career, family. Bishop encourages people to research before they make a decision. This is an entertaining read and you walk away with better decision making skills.
 Rip off! November 2, 2008
I have not received my book purchased on 9-30-08..I have also emailed the seller with no reply...How do these people get away with this?!
Excellent Book November 2, 2008
This is an excellent book to read. It will enlighten and help you make better decisions about everyday life. I was immediately drawn into the content of the book from the introduction. It is a definite must read. It is a great book to discuss with your significant other or with members of your book club.
