Jesus, Life Coach Journal : Training Your Life
Jones, whose books Jesus, Life Coach and Jesus, CEO have sought to infuse spiritual values into the workplace, here offers a derivative journal that takes the four key principles of her Life Coach message and urges readers to compose their own answers to leading questions about those principles. Part I is about focusing energy and prioritizing goals; Part II deals with balance and being "centered"; Part III defines productivity in comparison to mere busy-ness; while Part IV encourages readers to aim for fulfillment, not just worldly success. At times, Jones’s touchy-feely imagery undermines her more cogent reflections. In a section on "readiness," for example, she offers a perceptive rumination on the difference between a therapist (one who counsels and listens) and a coach (one who challenges and motivates), but then spoils it with a silly question for reflection: "Where in your life are you like a passive pumpkin that has a happy face, but no feet to go anywhere?" This positive-thinking manual may inspire some who have read Jesus, Life Coach and want to personalize its practices, but it’s a disappointing companion volume.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
