We'¬?ve all heard the story of Noah'¬?s ark, but what can this ancient allegory tell those of us struggling to find our bearings at the dawn of the 21st century? Plenty. Whether fact or fiction, the heroic Biblical tale reveals more than simply how to survive bad weather in an animal-packed boat built before power tools, air conditioning, and indoor plumbing. In 7 LIFE LESSONS FROM NOAH'¬?S ARK, author Michael Levine interprets the story of Noah in terms of its universal human truths, inspiring us to take the helm in our own personal voyages. With grace and humor, he invites us to see challenging events in our lives not as inundating disasters, but as watershed opportunities to reevaluate, hone, and mold us into who we really are or who we want to become.Using the lessons of Noah'¬?s ark, this self-help book offers a lighthearted approach to the serious business of taking stock, taking control, and transforming calamity into opportunity.Lessons include "Opportunity: Don'¬?t Miss the Boat," "Balance: Get Yourself Shipshape," and "Character: Stay True to Your Course."
