Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), credited as the inspiration for radio, robots, and even radar, has been called the patron saint of modern electricity. Based on original material and previously unavailable documents, this acclaimed book is the definitive biography of the man considered by many to be the founding father of modern electrical technology.

Absolutely fascinating

I have never consumed a book of this breadth. It took me a while to get into it, but after 5 to 10 chapters I was completely riveted. I knew that Tesla had not come to today as a great historical figure, in the vein of Einstein or ever Edison, but I didn’t truly know why. I proceeded through the book rooting and coming to genuinely like Tesla, but knew his dreams would never be realized, and mourning that.
The author was amazing, and I cannot fathom the time it must have taken him and the lengths he must have gone through to compile this opus. He has my admiration and my thanks.
I highly recommend it. As strange as this may sound, I feel I am a better person for having listened to it. You will have to be dedicated to it, but I doubt you will be disappointed.

Why does the Bible contain so many stories of hurting people? Though their situations vary, their conditions don't. They have nowhere to turn. Yet before their eyes stands a never-say-die Galilean who majors in stepping in when everyone else steps out. Lucado reminds us that the purpose of these portraits isn't to tell us what Jesus did-but rather to remind us what Jesus still does.

Max Lucado's clear depiction of Christ is something that has been rarely done. I have loved this book for many years. Those looking for a clear depiction of Christ that is biblically accurate but not preachy or self serving will definitely appreciate this.
