"What does humanity need to do, individually and collectively, to restore itself to the pathway toward successful civilization?"Now, imagine that you are given this question by Gabriel, the archangel himself and told by him that you have only five chances to get the answer right with some of the greatest minds available to assist you such as Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington Carver, Joan of Arc, Eric Erickson, Benjamin Franklin and King David from the Bible.
That is exactly David Ponder's experience in Andy Andrews' The Final Summit: A Quest To Find The One Principle That Will Save Humanity.
What you will find in The Final Summit is an amazing tale with a lot of "lost" pieces of history - the things you won't find in the history books. The narrative between the characters is intriguing and keeps you turning the pages. You do get lost in the story and find yourself beginning to wonder, "What will save humanity from its present condition?".
While I enjoyed the story presented within the pages of Mr. Andrews' book, the ending was anti-climatic. I can say that The Final Summit was in some ways inspiring, but overall missed something really big. The principles put forth really are nothing more than you would find in your typical self-help book.
The book includes a reader's guide making it a perfect choice for a book club selection. Also available as a free resource to teachers and book clubs is a companion curriculum which you can find by visiting: http://www.andyandrews.com/ms/the-final-summit/unlock.html.

Believing the answer to humanity's "lostness" is found in a Person rather than a principle,
