Beautiful images--my kids saw this lying on the couch and started flipping through it admiring the photos. Powerful messages shared mostly through brief stories. Gave me a lot to think about and some inspiration to make changes in my own life.

Coffee table book with nature photographs and quotes by Stephen R. Covey. It's nice, but unless you can get it for really cheap, don't buy it for yourself. It could be a good gift for that Covey disciple in your life. :)

I love this book! Leadership and nature go hand in hand. To me, it redifined leadership in a much more spiritual nature.
