Book Review: Inspired me to Sail!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading Dove, I signed up at a local sailing club and am learning this fine art. The adventure and excitement that Robin Graham brings you through will inspire anyone, any age, to pursue his/her dreams.Book Review: Intangible Wealth Found at Journey's End
Summary: 5 Stars
Lately I've been reading books about great sea adventures, some of which for the second or third time. Among them are Robin Lee Graham's Dove, the story of his journey around the world in a 24 foot sloop begun when he was only sixteen. Also, Joshua Slocum's classic adventure Sailing Alone Around the World. Just now I'm reading Apsley Cherry-Garard's The Worst Journey In the World, named by National Geographic last year as one of the greatest adventure stories ever written. I am drawn to this genre because of my work and travels in more than 80 countries and my journey around the world in 1999, most of the way as a lone passenger aboard a modern freighter. It is to Robin Lee Graham's credit that his book is now still in print for 31 years and that it is among the classics recommended in home schooling for young adults. In the last chapter of the book, still uncertain of his future, he writes that he and his young wife, Patti, begin to read the Bible together: "Our finding a belief in God - becoming Christians - was a slow thing.... We want to work out our lives in the way God intended us to. In reading the Bible together we were fascinated by the prophecies made two thousand years and more ago, prophecies which seemed to be coming true, like the Jews returning to their own country. We have no idea where these new thoughts and ideas and practices will take us.... But we are open to whatever direction God will give us. Our belief is simple. It is the belief that so many of our own generation are discovering - a belief that God isn't dead as some of the older generation have told us. In a world that seems to be going crazy we are learning that Jesus showed men the only way they should live - the way we were meant to live." Graham's voyage brought him immense intangible wealth -- a companion for life and the wisdom of discovering a Shepherd for all eternity. Highly recommended. ...Book Review: It was quite inspiring!
Summary: 3 Stars
I read the book the Dove for a class assignment. I got more out of it than i expected. I think of course it could have been a little better but, to keep with the positive things. I really enjoy hearing about someone who takes life, grabs a hold and goes where one can. I mean we need to grasp it now before it's gone. The book displays someone who feels the same. I enjoyed it, and I recommend it to readers of all ages!Book Review: It's an enspiring book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a one of a kind book. I think if I could do any thing in the world, or my life, it would do what he did exporling; the world with cats, and a boat, with the occational humman conpanion. If I did what he did though, I think the lonnliness would get to me more. So I would want my mom with me, because she wants to sail arond the world one day and I really want to go with her. He went to so many dream like places and by just discribing them, it seems like there is really paridise on earth, if you look hard enough...Book Review: Lone Sailor
