[Jamie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although this book was written for men I still found it to be inspiring for women and also a great way to better understand and support the man in your life. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 was while the stories were all very inspiring every story seemed to work out “perfectly” as imperfect people some of us are discouraged by the journey when we can’t find or see our perfect end. I usually call these perfect pastor stories that are sometimes hard to relate to. I did love the Bible story comparison to these latter days. A great reminder that the Bible is timeless and applicable to all persons at all times.

Great for men, but women should read this, too! A friendly, but insightful way to think through your identity and where your life is going.

If you need inspiration for achieving goals, "Just a Bartender" is a book by Paul Louis Cole that is used as an inspiration for people who want to achieve goals. The book shows how you can use different things to achieve these goals, examples being: favor, strategy, and standard. The book is based on the story of Nehemiah, a slave who had a dream and goal to rebuild Jerusalem. This book shows how he achieved his goal, and how you can achieve yours by using these things talked about in the book.
This was a very good book and is a big inspiration for people. It boosted my courage and self-confidence, and it motivates me to achieve my dream, becoming a sports broadcaster. This book is a huge motivator for people and really helps. I would recommend this book to any people looking for information. Paul Louis Cole has knocked it out of the park once again
