Leadership Text/
Dick Biggs' book has something for all of us, from leaders in our military, to industry, and our society.Every parent should have this book because it lays out what is important in life, read relationships, and how to achieve same.We are the leaders of our children, and Dick makes very stronge leadership points.This book is divided into twenty contrasts of life, twenty short chapters loaded with idea, thoughts, and recomendations that we need to study and commit upon.The first chapter, Image and Integrity, is the perfect start.Without integrity we don't amount to much, but too many of us today are only concerned with image.In this chapter, "grit" is found in the word integrity.This book is small, 5 X 7.5 inches, and the chapters are 4 to six pages that makes for handy reading.Read a chapter with your morning coffee, while waiting for the rest of the members to arrive at a meeting, and at other times when you have ten minutes for good thoughs about where you are going.Most importantly, if you take this work seriously, you can determine who you really are and how others know you.We all need to think about Richard Biggs' words, they will help us and our society.This is a great gift for those people you love.

Totally Life Changing
A friend chose this book and left it at my house.I ran out of books for the moment and picked it up thinking it was another one of those...
How absolutely overwhelmed I was at my age (73) to learn so much in so few pages.Much of what he has said to help guide people to a fuller, richer life, I had already learned and applied, but none of us have ever reached the point we can't learn or see something a bit differently.

My life changed drastically when health dictated this master workaholic was ordered to shut down her thriving business overnight or else...For 2 years I have been under recontruction to learn to be at peace in every situation.I can see, however, how to start over again now that my health is back and the doors are slowly opening to be useful again to myself and the Lord but this time I am going to keep this book right along with my Bible so I will put into practice the principles Richard K. Biggs has put forth.For whatever years I have left I intend to do it right and be a blessing to all I meet because of these excellent guidelines.

A BOOK FOR LIFE
They say in five years, you will become the average of the books you have read and the people you have associated with. For two-and-a-half years, I've had the privelege of associating with Dick Biggs as a professional speaker--and now I've been able to read his book. Both have become indispensible resources for me.

Dick is respected among professional speakers for being a man who walks his talk. Reading his latest book, BURN BRIGHTLY WITHOUT BURNING OUT, is almost as good as knowing the man--it will provide very practical assistance if you want to achieve great things in your professional life while building balance into your personal life.

Are you a reader? Then you'll really enjoy this book. Are you working on developing the reading habit? Then this book will get you hooked. If Amazon allowed a SIX-star review, this one would get SEVEN!

Product Description
This work reexamines the political and military aspects of the Revolution of 1399. It argues that Henry of Lancaster was not the ""all conquering"" hero of 1399 and that Richard II worked with all his faculties to outmaneuver his cousin politically rather than simply accept his fate and deposition with resignation. ...
