Surviving Your Serengeti- Stefan Swanepoel

As a brutal business environment meets a soft economy, business leaders and managers are looking for sources of both inspiration and survival. This compelling new fable offers a riveting tale of life in Africa's Serengeti and what lessons it holds for today's beleaguered business people and struggling society.
            The 1.5 million wildebeest rely on stubborn endurance and support from the herd to survive; the alligator is opportunistic; the cheetah ruthlessly effective; the giraffe embodies grace, the lion a master strategist, the mongoose is a risk-taker, the elephant is an excellent communicator.

This book was truly an amazing and quick read.  It arrived in the mail around 3pm and I just opened to cover to read the introduction to get a feel for a book.  3 and half hours later, I was done and seriously reflecting on the lessons taught in the book. 

We all have things in our lives we need to work on and this book can open your eyes to some of your strengths and weaknesses.  It has given me a lot of think about and to work on in my own life.  I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in better themselves as a person and wishes to have better interacts with people around them.

The Seraph Seal- Leonard Sweet

An epic tale of good and evil based on the four horsemen of the Apocalypse found in the book of Revelation.

Using the four horsemen of the Apocalypse to symbolize the four Gospels, four transcendentals, and four forces of the universe (air, water, earth, and fire), Sweet and Wagner weave a fast-paced, end-times tale of good vs. evil and the promise of a new dawn for humanity.

Set in 2048, when planet Earth is suffering from the damaging effects of years of misuse and abuse, cultural history professor Paul Binder receives a mysterious letter that leads him to examine a lost 2nd-century Diatessaron manuscript. Ancient prophecies, cryptic letters, and strange events set him on a course to uncover the missing clues that could lead humanity into a new age. Each character embodies elements of the four horsemen in a race to save the world from total destruction. Layered with forgotten symbolism from the ancient, Jewish, and Christian traditions, the novel is a type of engaged fiction in which the main character's lost journal serves as a guide to the reader in interpreting clues and understanding the novel's conclusion.

            The Seraph Seal was an enjoyable book.  I would recommend it to Christian fiction fan, who also have an interest in symbolism and hidden meaning.  Great book. Great read.
