Review: The Trust Protocol: The Key to Building Stronger Families, Teams, and Businesses by Mac Richard



Review: The Trust Protocol: The Key to Building Stronger Families, Teams, and Businesses

2017


The Trust Protocol: The Key to Building Stronger Families, Teams, and BusinessesMac Richard is a new author for me and looking at one of the online sites this may be his first book.  So, I had no preconceived ideas of how or what he might have to say.  Or how he would say it.  

Richards says it straight and without too much of his own story intruding on what he has to say.  Yes, he uses examples from his own life.  It’s way easier than getting all the legal stuff you need these days to tell it any other way.  That said he also includes quotes from others as needed. And that includes the Bible.  He’s tracking pretty well as far as I can see.  His pace matches his audience.  He’s in Austin, remember.  Lots to do and not so much time to do it.  So the presentation is short and to the point.

What about the material?  As I read it I found myself wondering why what seems so obvious needs said, and it hit me.  It hasn’t and isn’t being said in the public arena like the “good old days.”  Trust, honesty, mending fences? Nope.  Write them off and go on is more the name of the game now.  What is trust or honesty?  It depends on the situation is the new way of thinking.  So, to read that honesty is good, that trust or truth matters just might be something his audience is not that familiar with now.  How it plays out in life, business, families is important.  It can be called life changing.

Overall, I thought his presentation was sensitive, without compromising the central theme.  There might be some ready to hear what he has to say.  This book could be helpful in business dealings, too.  Wonder if could be shelved in the business section as well?  Or maybe in the self-help family advice sections?

I received this book from the publisher in return for a review.

Review: When God’s Ways Make No Sense by Dr. Larry Crabb

Review: When God’s Ways Make No Sense Dr. Larry Crabb Baker Books 2018 I chose this book because the title intrigued me.   When God’s Ways Make No Sense.    There have been plenty of times when that seemed truer than I’d like to admit.   Are we even allowed to say something like that?   Even if we think it.   So, an author willing to take on that topic had my attention. And mostly because I wanted his take on what to do about it? As it turns out Crabb pretty much gave away his case very early on in his book with a single scripture quote.   The basic idea is God is GOD and we are not.   His motives and actions are incomprehensible to mankind and He owes no explanation for them either.   Crabb admits near the end of his book that he is not a theologian which I knew going into this book, but his arguments are theology.   Or at least I think so.   I found his repeated circling the topic a bit frustrating. ...

Review: The Little French Bistro by Nina George

Review: The Little French Bistro Nina George Crown 2017 I have to admit that I'm not a fan of romance novels, but I think this one goes beyond the boy meets girl idea.   By a bunch.   If adults had coming of age stories this one would fit there.   Marianne travels a road many people I know would love to, but fear taking the steps needed. And that is the basis of this book.   Taking the steps.   Joy, sorrow, whatever comes and keep on taking the steps.    I agree with many of the comments already made about George's ability to build wonderful characters, paint scenes that vibrate with energy, and tell a story too.   Her writing touches the heart and not in some sappy, maudlin way.   A place of real emotions and desire.   Speaking of desire---her intimate scenes are just that, intimate.   In body and mind.   And not for just spicing things up a bit.   She captures the true nature of intimacy...

Buntings and Books

Time to blog says the calendar. So OK let's blog. What about? Oil spills? Court nominees? Euro problems? Weather? The last one is the easiest to go with it looks like. Cold and windy again. What is this about? Not more than a week ago it looked like summer. Even needed fans to cool the place. Well, the fans are off now. Nature has provided some pre-cooled forced air for a few days now, complete with humidity adjustments ie rain. Keeps the ground cold and the urge to garden at bay. Protection for those of us who aren't in the best physical condition. The weather has the birds on the feeder more often and that included a new one in the area. We've decided to call it an indigo bunting. Matches the picture in the book so that's got to be who he is. Pretty little guy, all decked out in his breeding plumage. Haven't seen those colors since the last peacock came around. Just read that cowbirds like to use them to raise their chicks. Yet another reason t...
