My Orange Duffel Bag: A Journey to Radical Change
This is the must-read book of the year. It represents everything I believe in: promoting literacy, saving our children and appealing to all learning styles. I was hooked the moment I unzipped its orange cover. I haven not found a book that made me feel like this since Same Kind of Different as Me and The Blind Side. --Kathy Louise Patrick, founder of The Pulpwood Queens book club with 3,000 members and who has named it her November Book SelectionI spent five years with Sam Bracken at a time of transformation for him. His is a stunning story of courage, resiliency, and servant-leadership. He told a 1,000-page story in exactly 66 pages. The format, the sincerity, and yes, the agony that leaps off the pages is palpable and transforming. There are two pains in life-the pain of discipline and the pain of regret...we all choose every day. The difference in Sam and those who are gobbled up by our sick society is that he usually chose wisely. He took our team s messages to heart in tangible ways. We would all do well to read, and heed, his powerful message. --Bill Curry, NCAA football coach, former NFL player with three SuperBowl ringsChange is hard. Everyone wants it. So few get it. In this one-of-a-kind book, Sam lays out a fool-proof, step-by-step approach to change through sharing his own remarkable journey from victim to conqueror. This book is a must read for everyone who wants to leave their baggage behind once and for all and become the change they seek! ---- Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness and The Leader in Me
