The Butterfly Effect by Andy Andrews

The Butterfly Effect by Andy Andrews is a great book to give over the holidays. It would be a perfect host/hostess gift for the holidays! The main message of the book is that everything we do matters. The Butterfly Effect tells the stories of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and Norman Borlaug.

I enjoyed reading this book -- it was a relaxing read. The format of the text makes it enjoyable to read, with different sized font and colorful graphics and images. I read it in one sitting, which was perfect! The author does a great job at inspiring his readers to examine how they are making a difference. I found myself reflecting about the people I come into contact in my life and what type of impact I am making.

I have to admit that I find myself fairly skeptical of "gift books." I don't know what it is exactly -- many I have read are fluffy and "feel good." I was impressed with the historical content of this book and the challenge that it leaves with the reader. I would recommend it! Put your preconceived notions of gift books aside and give it a try.
