Obtaining Knowledge

I have and currently am enjoying this book. It has so much informative information. I enjoy reading and learning as I go along. This is an excellent resource of knowledge. I wish everyone would get one, there is no doubt they'd enjoy it to the fullest.

Great gift idea for the intellectual in your life!!!

I have been reading the first in the series which focuses on 7 distinct subject issues each week. This helps not get you stuck in subject matter for too long. The addtional facts are also handy, as they provide further insight into the subjust from another angle. I bought this book for a family member because I know they are an intellectual like myself!!!!

Pretty Good!

I've really enjoyed reading my one-a-day history lessons this year! I'm almost through the entire book and I can't wait to start another intellectual devotional in 2010. Just one thing I've noticed as I've read the entries--some of them seem a bit uneven. I know it's tough to condense information about a major event, person, or place in history to a single page, but some of the entries don't even take up the entire page. Sometimes I wished they used the entire space--just a few more sentences of information. But I think that's a sign that I really liked the writing and information; I wanted more!
