What I'm Reading

I received this book free of charge from the Thomas Nelson book review program. I’ve always followed the career of George Foreman with fascination, as he has done well in the boxing ring and in business, in particular with his grill. I was anxious to read his thoughts on being an entrepreneur and I found that this book did not disappoint. Well crafted by veteran co-writer Ken Abraham, Foreman spins stories about his life interlaced with principles of business, entrepreneurism and his faith.

George Foreman has not lived life timidly, and that is apparent throughout this book. He encourages the reader to not just stand by and let life pass them by, but to be willing to take risks that are based on sound principles.

I also like his emphasis on giving back, which he writes about extensively. However, he has not only written about, but he has also practiced it in life.

And that leads to another point. This is not an ivory tower, pie in the sky type of book, but it is a practical book where Foreman shares what has worked for him and yes, even where he has failed.

This is a very readable book, with a good number takeaway points for those who are seeking to be Christians and entrepreneurs. I highly recommend it!
