I LOVED reading, The Final Summit, by Andy Andrews.
This is a truly inspirational story. I'm now hooked on this author, and I'll be reading everything he's written.
David Ponder is the central figure in the story. His wife has recently died and he is sad and lost without her companionship. David has lived a wonderful life and practiced principles of courtesy, caring, kindness, and wisdom in his personal and professional life.
Recently widowed, and alone, at age seventy-four, David doesn't have much hope for the future. Alone is his skyscraper penthouse, David is going through mementos from an astounding adventure that occurred earlier in his life. The archangel Gabriel appears to David and tells him that he has been selected to meet with 'Travelers' from the past, in order to find the means to continued existence of human life on the planet.
David meets with recognizable historical figures to discover the two words that will enable humanity to solve its most urgent problems.
The Final Summit is the meeting of some of the most extraordinary leaders and achievers of all time. Their quest for answers is a magnificent, inspirational story that gives guidance to all who choose to do their best.
Along the way, the reader discovers some amazing and accurate historical details concerning famous and not so famous people who have lived and died in a way that made things better for all of us.
I give this book 5 stars. It is truly entertaining and inspiring.

Doesn't seem to follow an outline, April 21, 2011
I downloaded this book because it was free on the Kindle. I expected a romance, but got a bizarre, meandering, dream filled story, that just seemed to follow whatever thought popped into the author's head.
The book started out as a somewhat humorous story of a mother to 14 children, trying to survive after the downfall of a political system.
The drawings were cute and the story had some excitement, drama, and humor. After a few chapters I was hooked, but then the outline of the story seemed to take off in too many unexpected directions.

Sabbath, by Dan B. Allender
I read 3 chapters of Sabbath: The Ancient Practices and enjoyed it in a quiet, sweet way.
The subject of the Sabbath really does not require an entire book.
Allender's explanations and examples at the beginning are good.
I think this would make a better article than book.

Learning Curve on Days 1 & 2, April 17, 2011
The Kindle 3 is fantastic.
I've been exploring it for 2 days.
With the help of the $0.99/monthly blog "Free Kindle Books Plus a Few Other Tips", I've loaded the Kindle with 11 free GOOD books and five Games.
I adjusted the lettering size to make it easy to read, tried the "text to talk"; but turned that off fairly quickly.
I've emailed an e book from my computer to the Kindle, and explored the menu and Settings. It's addictive;)
I had problems the first day with the keyboard. I needed capital letters to enter the password to my router. The caps are difficult to locate. (The up arrow key is actually the CAP key)
The keyboard could be more user friendly. The rest of the Kindle is amazing. I highly recommend the Kindle3 wi-fi. I'm really happy that I bought it.
