Book Recommendation

I saw the Glenn Beck show tonight, and he did a segment on the book "Scratch Beginnings: Me, $25, and the Search for the American Dream" with Adam Shepard, the author.

This book is so inspiring that I'm recommending it to you without reading it first. The best price I can find for it (including shipping & handling) is here.

The author said he got tired of hearing all the whining of the privileged kids in his generation, got offended by Barbara Ehrenreich's book "Nickled and Dimed" (so did I, kid), and set out to go from nothing to overcoming poverty--it took him all of six months. By one year, he had a furnished apartment, a steady job, and $2500 in the bank AT THE TENDER AGE OF 25! If he could leave home with a backpack and $25 cash and make something of himself, why can't whole generations of others (especially government-dependent ones) do the same? Is it lack of knowledge, lack of inspiration, or lack of character? Read this book and find out for yourself. I'm putting it on my "to order" list.
