The Go-Giver
This book is a “parable” about succeeding in business – and at life itself. It is not a religious story, but the principles are true to life and generally align with biblical precepts. It tells about Joe, a young man who wanted to succeed in life, but things were not going well. He is introduced to the concept of giving more than you expect in return, along with 5 related “laws.” It is an interesting read! 150 pages; hardcover.
