Summary: A Company of Paradoxes
Comment: No one denies Dick DeVos is a great seller of soap or would question his right to do so. The book presents us with a paradox, however. Dick would have us believe Amway salesmen aren't like other salesmen: they don't bear false witness, they are consistent in word and deed, treat others according to the golden rule, are humble, courageous, disciplined, and stand for freedom. You have to decide if he is deceiving you or not. If he is, then Amway's approach is deceptive and sales practices based on this deceptive doctrine are deceptive. If he is not, then he is violating the constitutional rights of the sales force. They have the right of freedom of speech, an implied right of privacy, freedom of religion or lack of it; in short, the right to make their own choices about how to live and feel and think without Amway telling them how they better do it. Moreover, even in Dick's own religion, he is paradoxical. The path of spirituality has never been through riches.

Summary: Should be required reading!
Comment: DeVos inspires us to take charge of our lives, to live it to the fullest. Outlines principals and values we all should be living by. If we all did, this world would be a better place to live and work.

Summary: Essential Reading. This one should be a school textbook!
Comment: There are many great books in our local libraries and on booksites around the world. No doubt this is one of them. This is a book not only worth buying, reading, re-reading and applying. It is a book worth sharing!

During turbulent times such as these in our schools: crime, drugs, alchol abuse, teenage pregnancies, and now even MURDERs are becoming commonplace. We must rediscover those values which have made our country great.

Adults and youth alike are scrambling to find themselves in counter cultures and in personal liberties. Ask the Chinese, where personal liberties get them. Personal freedoms are important but as Mr. DeVos shares with us, freedom for all is much more critical. If we are to be a country of individualists, than we will be subject to lie in the bed we have made for ourselves. More accurately, we will be subject to sleeping with those FEW individuals whom are driving their own agendas.

My hope is that we (together) strive to uphold the vision our forefathers provided: to make our bed of universal freedoms -- a comfortable bed indeed.
