This book was amazing! My grandfather purchased it for me shortly after I moved to Florida and the year that I was introduced to Dr. Jay Strack, or as I know him Uncle Jay. I’ve had the privilege of hearing Uncle Jay speak many time and have had the opportunity to have conversations with him that left a great impact on me. The lessons in this book are so very valuable and it’s truly a blessing to have this resource. If you love travel or leadership this is a quick read that will change your mindset, the way you communicate, and the path you’re headed on.

While not particularly well-written, this is a fun collection of stories and insights. Jay Strack provides a short "travel guide" through the Sunshine state and life advice for young Christians seeking to live full and responsible lives. This is a book I will not likely personally revisit; I will pass it on to a younger person though.
