About this title

Review

Rich Devos, the cofounder of Amway and owner of NBA's Orlando Magic, offers 10 lessons for successful Christian living. After more than 70 years of life, Devos admits that he's "made my share of mistakes. But most of the time, by the grace of God, I have managed to succeed." Grace may have had a lot to do with it, but Devos also credits his unshakeable faith in God and firm belief in hope. After numerous heart problems that culminated in a heart transplant a few years ago, Devos began to see the super-power of hope as well as the true meaning of success. (Here's a hint: it's not about how much money or power you glean.)

Using his remarkable life story as the container, Devos serves encouraging lessons on topics such as persistence, confidence, family, and accountability. Often, Devos sounds like a motivational speaker, with numerous catch phrases such as "confidence will come in the doing," and "respect begins with how you feel about yourself, not how others feel about you". Christians who like the feeling of being pumped up at inspirational seminars will find themselves motivated by this gung-ho book on hope. --Amazon.com
