Bill – That’s so interesting that two pastors would recommend a “business” book. My pastor is the one above that recommended it. It must be good!

Great suggestions. Hafttime is a great read, also Leadership and Self-Deception is a book that I just finished and would recommend it, as well as Death by Meeting, in fact that book has had such an impact that I posted something in that vein.

Good catch, Ben. You are right about the Bob Buford book, Halftime. I’ve read both it and The Monk and the Merchant, and got mixed up on which one was required. Thanks for the correction.

They are both excellent books bye the way!

Ricky, great list. I may take a look at some of these. I just wanted to let you know that Halftime (#3) is not actually a required reading by all Dave Ramsey employees, but he does recommend it.

The required readings for every team member of Dave’s company are Rhinoceros Success, The Monk and the Merchant, QBQ, & The Go Getter.

Dale – It made perfect since to me.

I’ve changed the last line from:
I think that of the 154 people that received my request, there were only about 8 that I’ve never met in person and only have a relationship with online, so don’t be offended if I you didn’t receive the original email.
to:
Of the 154 people that received my request, there were only about 8 that I’ve never met in person. Those 8 are some of my closest online friends. If you are one of my online friends, and you didn’t receive the original email, please don’t be offended.

Ricky, this is an interesting list of books. I might look into some of these at a later date. Also, check your last line in the blog, it doesn’t quite make sense. Hope you and Sandy are doing well.

Hell of a list, Ricky. I’m looking forward to hearing which you read, and your thoughts…

Ah yes…Bitter Blood. Yes, that’s a good one. I live a few blocks away from where Klenner blew himself up.

I wasn’t here at the time, but often, I’ll be driving from one place to another and it will occur to me I am driving the same route he was that fateful day.
