Finished 4-3-08, rating 2.5/5, fiction, pub. 1983
This was my first and most probably my last Og Mandino book. It was sweet, preachy, and a little dated. I think the sentiment was good and did enjoy Chapter 9, The God Memorandum. The problem was the eight chapters leading up to it were not my cup of tea. The story was that Og met God in the flesh and God gave him a memo to print for the world.
The four laws of happiness and success according to God? 1. Count your blessings. 2. Proclaim your rarity. 3. Go another mile. 4. Use wisely your power of choice. These are rules to live by, but it was one chapter. The only thing that kept me reading to Chapter 9? The book is only 98 pages.
I finished this on our layover at JFK on the way to Italy. I left it on a chair, so I have passed on the God Memorandum to someone bored at the airport and now to you.

You should give the Christ Commission a shot–might be better.
Or Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal.
Either one.
It’s nice to hear from an old roomate 🙂 I’m not ready to read Mandino again, but I’ve never read Moore, so he’s going on my reading list. I’ll look for it at the library today.
Lamb may be the funniest book I ever read. But it definately won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. You know my sense of humor–you’ve been warned.
It concerned me at first (the title), but I read the first three chapters yesterday and I love Biff (so far). No point in warning me, you know I’ll check out whatever you recommend!
