1) Rating: 5 out of 5
2) Genre: Inspirational
3) Synopsis: Can a butterfly flapping its wings on the other side of the planet cause a hurricane? If yes then imagine the impact people can have.
4) Feelings: This is a very short book, which is really its only flaw. It tells a couple of stories about how one action by one person lead to amazing things. I really like the concept just wish they had more stories. Plus it says the butterfly effect is a scientific law now. I imagine that is right but how on earth did they prove it.
5) Final recommendation: Well worth the read but it, seriously only take like 5 to 10 minutes to read it. Maybe if there is a sequel it will have more stories.

This book was a gift from a dear friend. It is a very quick read which allows it to be helpful when you need it most. It is inspirational, uplifting, and easy to consume when you need a boost. American themes, but you’ll get the gist of it.

I received this book on loan from a colleague and it is really worth the super quick read. You really don't think about how important your impact is on the world and this book definitely puts that into focus. Every little thing you do matters and will alter the lives of many future generations.
Definitely give it a read!

Nice, short inspirational book about the impact we each make just by being alive. It does make you consider the good you can do in the world.

I believe this may be one of the only books I’ve ever read that gave me goosebumps. One of the shortest, yet most compelling books I’ve ever had the privilege of reading. Everyone, and I mean everyone, should read it. It will make you hyper-aware of your daily actions and the long-lasting effects they may have on the conditions of the world around you.

I received a review copy of the book, The Butterfly Effect by Andy Andrews from Thomas Nelson. This book is considered a gift book and is a small and quick read. I found the story thought- provoking and interesting. Mr. Andrews starts with the hypothesis of Edward Lorenz. Mr. Lorenz created his hypothesis in 1963. The hypothesis, known as the butterfly effect, is basically that when a butterfly flaps his wings it sets molecules out into the wind which can create more wind and molecules to move.
Mr. Andrews uses an example from the Civil War to illustrate this hypothesis. I was read the example with great interest since I love that period of our history. The book leaves you thinking about the impact that you have on this earth both by your movements and statements that you make. I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels that what they do does not matter to anyone but themselves.
