Outstanding Author and Material January 7, 2009 "Reposition Yourself" contains great insight and presents an outstanding, positive approach to life, and challenges oneself to live one's life to its fullest potential. This book is inspiring, encouraging, and motivating. I highly recommend it to anyone in the transitions of life.
Wonderful book... January 4, 2009 the writing is beautiful, inspiring and very funny also. I liked his use of truck-driving occupation to deliver the message of preparation for what you want to achieve in this life. Well done.
CHALLENGING!!! December 11, 2008 This book was recommended to me by a friend several months ago. I finally felt the urge to purchase it a few months ago. I am so pleased that I did. The information compiled in this book is exactly what I needed in my life for right now. I choose to stick to information that promotes wisdom and knowledge, spiritually & naturally. This book have a great balance. I specifically enjoy T.D. Jakes' style of writing. The book challenges the reader in key areas of inner growth. When I read the first Chapter, I was hooked. I never heard of an addiction to apathy. For anyone that may be in a situation & you are having a hard time moving out or on from it, READ THIS BOOK.
Useless Jibber Jabber November 25, 2008 I bought the audio collection and I have to say that it offers nothing but a large vocabulary and name-droppings, emphasizing the droppings part. Boy Mr. Jakes likes himself. Please do not waste your hard-earned money on platitude after platitude. I have never written a review, but this POS was so bad, I had to step up and try to save America some money.
Wise and Concise November 17, 2008 In Reposition Yourself, Bishop T.D. Jakes gives wise and authoritative insight on making a new pact with your life and recovering from setbacks. Although Bishop Jakes is an impassioned and sweaty-browed speaker that engages hundreds of thousands in his television broadcasts and church congregations, his writing style is calm, personal and understanding, yet provacative.
Coming from an intimate understanding of human nature and relationships as well as stances influenced by paternal pastoral leadership, Bishop Jakes takes readers by a firm hand and leads them through the theme of the book. Ultimately he guides you to the mirror to face the challenge of personal responsibility.
I found that the first half of the book was the most useful. The second half was a bit preachy and out of touch with most peoples' experiences, as it was mostly written from the standpoint of his role as a high-profile church leader and executive.
The first half was an easy read, and I could definitely relate to all of his points. For instance, he opens the book with "The Intervention", as though the reader has entered a room filled with his/her neglected selves, all begging for the proper attention from his/her conscience. Sometimes as we go through life, outside matters take precedence over our health and deeper needs. Each of us experiences this as we all have denial in some area life. The lesson in this is to stop and reposition ourselves to pay attention to what has been neglected or what needs to be reprioritized.
I knew that I would need to read this book eventually. It is not a motivational book that gives pie-in-the-sky affirmations or advice. With his Biblical wisdom and ability to speak directly and intimately, Bishop Jakes' style is spiritual and practical. It is not realistic to think that any book will give instant solutions, because most of the things that become problematic in life do not happen overnight, either. But this book is a very wise choice to read if you are feeling or experiencing a need to take another look at yourself in order to become happier or more successful in any area of your life, and need a firm foundation to get a grip or start over for the better.
