Lou Holtz
Ave Maria Press, 96 pages
If you’ve heard Lou Holtz speak at a public event anytime in the last couple of decades, you’ll recognize some of the entertaining stories and anecdotes he tells in his brief but highly engaging book. His stories and lessons work because they’re timeless; and although addressed to new college graduates, his advice provides sheer wisdom for us all — not just about faith, but how to apply it. “If you truly want to be happy for a lifetime,” Holtz writes, “put your faith in Jesus Christ.” Give it as a gift to a grad, or keep it by your beside for inspiration… and a good chuckle.
