The Traveler's Gift (Hardcover) Reviews

I just finished reading The Traveler's Gift, and it was as if it was written just for me. I so needed this book, and am recommending it to everyone I know. And especially to my 2 new sales reps. I am a 32 year old wife and mother of two amazing children (Lauren 4, and Alex 3) who has started a business where I am promoting a new product (first of its kind) nationwide!! And so many times I have almost given up, but I am so passionate about this project, and I feel that I am doing this for a reason!! I have a decided heart!!! Your book has given me the strength to move forward...full speed ahead!!!!!

I have been simply amazed at the way The Travelerís Gift has impacted my workplace. I continue to share the other resources with individual teachers and those responses have been very similar. I want to thank you for using your talent for the Lord. May God continue to bless your work.

I was in church the other day and the preacher was going up and down the aisle. It looked like that preacher looked at me and said the words "Traveler's Gift, that is a book." Being one who journals all during the service I wrote that down. I called the book store to see if it was a book that they had. The clerk told me they did not have it in stock, but they did have the Journal. I am thinking if it is out of stock, it must be a very good book. Because I try to read a book a week, I did not want to start any other book until I got my hands on Traveler's Gift. I pressed my way to the Library, and the book was on the shelf. THANK GOD. Well I read that book in just a few (4) days. It was one of the most rewarding books I have ever read. I have just walked up to people to tell them this is a must read for every one. I was spellbound with the journey of David Ponder. Statements like the one on page 80 about the geese, and on page 81 "Passion is a product of the heart" and page 139, "I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit..." have really taken me to a new level.

I teach struggling readers (ninth graders who read at the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade level). I had read The Traveler's Gift to my students last year. This year, I bought The Young Traveler's Gift and read it aloud. The students really enjoy it. Thanks!

I just finished my first season coaching in Greensboro, North Carolina. It was a phenomenal season by all accounts. So many stories to tell I would not know where to start. But I wanted to let you know I have used the 7 Decisions of Success with many of the pitchers I worked with this year. And I will be using the 7 Decisions for our prospect mini-camp beginning in mid-September. There are so many powerful messages within the Traveler's Gift. I bought the book for all of the pitchers I worked with this past season. It changed the way many of those players look at themselves and their lives. I am already seeing the results. I look forward to meeting you some day and sharing all of the many stories already flowing through from the 7 Decisions. I have personally handed the Traveler's Gift out to more than 100 people. I will continue to share your book with others. Thanks again for your inspiring message. Keep it coming!

I heeded your advice. It is working. I have never been more alive or more filled with joy. More importantly, I have never been more focused on serving others with my gifts. Thank you.

I am excited that I have found a new "gift book". I love to read and give books as gifts. I usually choose non-fiction books on leadership but thought The Lost Choice and The Traveler's Gift might be fun reading. It turns out to have been much more than that and I look forward to teaching my students and small groups about the principles I have learned through these books.

I was walking through the book store about two months ago and picked up The Traveler's Gift. Not knowing anything about the book or you I bought it. I have to tell you I really love your storytelling ability. Your books are absolutely inspiring! I read the Traveler's gift, gave it to my pastor, his only comment was "has this guy written anything else?" I have since purchased and read "The Lost Choice" and the "Island of Saints" I've been trying to get my hands on everything you've written!

While I was trying to get some work done, I realized that I was not making progress so I decided to pick up "The Traveler's Gift" and at least read the first chapterÖ.Well, let me tell you that I did not stop reading until David Ponder found that he still had the little pouch from Chamberlain! This book was the most inspirational attention holding book I have read in a long time. The 7 Decisions of Success is something I had never heard of until I was made aware of you! I am still reading the 1st Decision daily. I want to make sure that I have that ingrained in my spirit. Why? Because that is the hardest hurdle for me is to take responsibility for my past. For so long, I have looked into the past and discovered that others were the cause of my life as I know it today. I would never have done this if they had not done that! It is their fault! And now I read something that tells me that "I" am the cause because of the decisions I madeÖ.. And I am open to receiving that as well?! WOW! That is a lot on a girl at one time. But day by day, and step by step I am learning not only that I am the reason due to my thinking, I am also changing the pattern of my thinking and learning to forgive me for the things I have done to myself. For that, I am eternally grateful to you. You have written it in such a way, that there is no room for attitude or argument. You have plainly stated it as factÖ.and that is how I have accepted it. Now that I know, I can begin the healing.
