Always liked the profile of Paul in the book “Wisdom of the Guides” – pay attention when you read it – a great read.
Great read John. Read it several times. No longer have a copy, passed several forward. Should pick up a couple more copies. Got several good lessons from that book. Need to read again! Thanks for the reminder! MR
