I just couldn't put it down Nancy Christofferson, Marketing ManagerJim Akers does an extraordinary job in finding an appropriate way to influence and help his audience. I say appropriate because I am usually a bit wary of motivational texts and speeches. I often feel like they lack real substance and lasting inspiration. Rather than giving the reader a short-lived sense of purpose or excitement, Tape Breakers offers real wisdom. The principles and advice in the book prompt readers to evaluate their lives regardless of where they are in their own races.
