Like most "everything I learned..." books (or posters, for that matter), the whole point is reminding folks about things they've heard before but mostly don't practice. For that matter, it's the point of a lot of the sermons I preach. And so the measure of such writing is to offer an opportunity to stop and think about our lives, not to astonish us with new ideas. This book invites readers to look at themselves through a bit of gentle nostalgia. It's what the author promised on the first two pages. Those looking for something else were reading the wrong book. It doesn't get any simpler and to the point then this book. Illustrations from the Little Golden Books of one's childhood with an accompanying statement on the importance of the idea or concept. These were taken from the series of the 40's, 50's, and 60's. I vaguely remember the books as they were a bit before my time but I probably had one or two as a kid. They were also in any store for a very long time. Interestingly enough I had an opportunity to go to work for the company that printed these books with there distinctive foil binders, out of college. I opted for a newspaper instead.
Memories of looking at Golden Book pictures while reading new meaning to them, a good read...
