Review of the book Surviving Your Serengenti by Stefan Swanepoel

This book was a really good read. This couple goes to Africa on a trip and learns a lot about themselves and the animals. They learn a lot about lions, wildebeest, crocodile, cheetah, giraffe, mongoose and elephant. And we learn from the author about how these animals behave in the wild and what there strengthens and weaknesses are and how we can learn from them and find out what animal we are.

I found out by taking the quiz at the end of the book that I am most like a giraffe.As a giraffe the book says I seek to make others feel like they're one of the most important people with whom they can spend time, and always put the needs of others first. And that I live according to a personal code that is higher than normal standards of conduct, and incoporate dignity, honor and respect in extending grace to others-even when things have not gone their way.

I really enjoyed this book and would reccomend it to anyone. I will say this, this was not really a Christian book at all so if a person wants just a religious or Christian type of book then you may not want to pick this up. So close to 250. I truly do put people first because I don't feel myself worthy of me time, I always want to be there for others. Sort of like my mother in law, she is always putting others first. She is awesome.
