The Butterfly Effect - Andy Andrews


Andrews starts out the book talking sharing his own story, and how he learned about permanent purpose: the butterfly effect. He goes on to tell the inspirational story of Joseph Lawrence Chamberlain and his stubbornness to not stand down - he continued to push on. And because of his actions, the ripple effects of that still effect our lives today!!

Andrews goes on to tell the stories of Normal Bourlag, Henry Wallace, George Washington Carver, and Moses and Susan. None of their lives would have been the same without the others. The effect goes on and on both directions! People influenced Moses and Susan who could have been named next - there are over 2 million that Norman Bourlag influenced.

Andrews encourages us as readers to look at the butterfly effect in our own lives - who has influenced who we are? And what type of person do we need to be to let the butterfly effect continue through our lives for generations to come?

This is a beautifully illustrated book, and a great read! I'd recommend it!
