Inspirational...

I just have to post this. I have read alot of books in my life. Among those I've read a lot of biographies and autobiographies. I've read about people I admire and had varying reactions from no difference in my perception of them to actually a loss of admiration of them. However, I have never, EVER read a book about someone I already admired where my admiration of the person has grown by leaps and bounds. But I have to say, the two books by and about Duane "Dog" Chapman have done that for me. Though his first book "You can run but you can't hide" is by far NOT kid friendly due to the content discussed (mostly while he was in Huntsville), it was so real. Real to the extent of raw honesty. Upon finishing the second book "Where mercy is shown, mercy is given", I have developed more of an admiration for him and his whole family. The trials they all had to go through was horrendous. Not to take away from them all as a whole, it is the inspiration of seeing "Dog" come back from the brink of Hell to become the person he is.

If you read nothing else in the near future, I fully recommend both of these books. He is a representative of God in a way I would have never imagined and though he had my admiration before....he has it more so now. He truly is an inspiration, not just to me but to anyone who says "I can't make anything better of my life".

So I say....Inspirational.
