Dr. John W. Friesen, author of several books, both academic and contemporary, now shares his witty, humorous, tongue-in-cheek look at life. In this collection of philosophical meandering to which we can all identify, he'll have you pondering everything from laptops and elephants on airplanes, to practical governing, and tell-it-like-it-is philosophy.

gift-giving and light reading.
