Lee (The Generals) Goodness in Action - John Perry



Lee (The Generals) Goodness in Action

By John Perry
Published by Thomas Nelson

This biography of Robert E. Lee focuses on what an caring and compassionate person General Lee was. This book was written in a way that holds your attention and the story has a nice flow to it. After reading this book, you feel that you really know Robert E. Lee as a person and not just as a General of Confederacy. It is intriguing to discover that one of the south’s best known Generals believed that slavery would not continue and that no country could morally survive with one people enslaving another.


I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about the life of Robert E. Lee or anyone intrigued by history, in particular the Civil War and that time period.

The Butterfly Effect - Andy Andrews

The Butterfly Effect

By Andy Andrews



This book explains the Butterfly Effect. It is a concept that basically says that any action can have a ripple effect and change things for years to come. It gives a background on the theory and then includes two stories showing how this effect works. One is of a Civil War Colonel and the other is a story explaining how actions of a few people have saved the lives of billions of people.


I would highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to show their children how a person’s actions can affect the world forever. And if you want a similar book in a more childlike format, please consider A Boy Who Changed the World by Andy Andrews. Both are truly wonderful books.

The Boy Who Changed the World
By Andy Andrews

This book explains the concept of the butterfly effect in terms that a child can comprehend. It shows children how one little thing that you do can have profound effects on the world for generations to come.

This book has the same basic storyline as
The Butterfly Effect by Andy Andrews. However, this book is written to be read by children. It explains how billions of lives were saved by the combined actions of several people over several generations.

I would highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to show their children how a person's actions can affect the world forever. And if you are an adult wanting a similar book in a more adult format, please consider The Butterfly Effect by Andy Andrews. Both are truly wonderful books.
