I have reviewed author Tony Agnesi's first two books in this series, and I am glad to review the third.  I think I'm like many.  I like to read, what I like to read. For me, I have to take something away from the words that I have chosen to invest in.  I love a good lesson, having my mind expanded, or be given something to mull over for a while afterwards.  That is this book.

Tony, again takes his spirituality, his life, his wit, and his love of life and melds it together with a strong weld, that gives you honesty and perspective only a good friend can.  That's what I ask of a book. A mind expanding experience.  Tony is a devout Catholic, and he makes no bones about that. But to enjoy and learn from this book, or to simply enjoy the true stories within, you don't have to be.  What you have to be to absorb the beauty of this book is fallable.  And be willing to listen to someone share his short stories with you.  He's not perfect, and niether am I.  You feel like Tony is talking with you and not at you. And as a communicator myself, that is the goal of anyone behind a mic, or a keyboard.  And that is a real seperator of this series of books.

You see, if you admit you don't know everything and don't have all of the answers to all life's questions, you allow another prespective to come in and give you a planted seed that can grow within you.  That is what these books do.  I love to be challenged by someone who dares to share their thoughts on the world around them. Isn't that what we want from our friends?  And that's Tony - A friend.

Full disclosure, Tony is my friend. We discuss life occasionally when we play golf with other great friends, like Don and my friend Ray.  They always seem to get me thinking about an angle I previously did not.  They all take different paths, and Tony's many times is a non-judgmental, non-preachy spiritual path that always seems to resonate with me.  His books do the same. 

This book, along with the others are a gem to read. Easy, fun and poignant. I always think the hallmark of any good book, is how you feel when you put it down, when finished, or finished for the moment.  Are you still thinking about what you just read?  Did you learn something?  Is your mind a little larger from reading it? And are you more curious than before?  The answer to all these questions is yes.

This book, perfect for a long flight, or a fireside night.  Well done.

Tony, Me, Lynn Kelly, and my friend Don, great company, and always something learned.
