64 Lessons for a Life Without Limits

by T.D. Jakes

What people need today when they and society at large are in social and economic distress is great advice and spiritual support that is easy to access. 64 Lessons - informed by two of Bishop Jakes' bestselling titles, Reposition Yourself and Making Great Decisions - is a ready-reference book of advice to keep readers on course in managing their careers, relationships, health, home and spiritual well-being. The 64 lessons explore ideas 1. Good choices begin with research; 2. Quitting can be good, at the right time; 3. Begin before 'need' arises; 4. Regret can be the begging of triumph over adversity. For instance, we've all been told that quitters never win. But, there IS a time to quit, whether it's your job, marriage, church or project. The biggest problem with quitting is the timing. Quitting too soon may mean that you relinquish your dreams. Get comfortable with change. Even after you've repositioned yourself, change is constant. You may need to quit something in order to make room for the next season of your life. Before you quit anything, look within and determine your real motives. Revisit the longings deep in your heart. Get a clear perspective on what you're releasing and what your taking hold of. Examine your prior choices and consider what you've 'quit' in the past. This honest self-examination will prepare you for a new beginning.

What a wonderful book! I read it in one day, just couldn't pull myself away from it. It felt as though Bishop Jakes was speaking right to me. The chapters are really short which makes it a great book to open and take a daily message from. This is the type of book that I will give to my friends and will carry with me to open and reflect on day to day.

I feel that this book was really helpful with creating a balanced life I also feel that a lot of the information should have been common sense to a person with values however I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for balance in life

Finished this book a year ago and forgot to rate it before giving it to a friend. It has some good stuff in it that I highlighted in a personal journal.

[Beth]

I read this in on sitting in the Roanoke library. Some good advice, but an awful lot of "God is in charge" advice. Hmmmm. Really?

[Anino]

Read this book mostly while waiting for Jury Duty. A great read, simplistic common sense for the masses.
