Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Faith Family Life
Marlan D. Cannon · 2017
47/100
👎 Skip It
A short, sincere memoir-style read where the author credits his strong Christian upbringing for his life's successes. It's wholesome and easy to get through, but it's anecdotal rather than deeply developed, and there's no independent review coverage to confirm it delivers beyond the retail description.
