Like other books written by authors who have mastered the art of using a fictional story to communicate philosophies and ideas that have become enormously popular (e.g. Richard Bach, James Redfield and Robert Pirsig).  I trust that Life is a Game of Poker will appeal not only to card players, but to anyone interested in success in any field and personal growth as well.�

Mark Kaufman (Paz & Associates)

  �This book has brought home to me the basic truths of life and poker.  In our quest for knowing all the �outs� and the �pot odds� we tend to forget that the essence of success in the game is less mathematical and more esoteric.  With all due respect to the more humanitarian pursuits, make the main characters doctors or lawyers and the value of the lessons remains the same.�

Shay Chapin (Inveterate Poker player)  

 "This book is truly amazing. There are so many parallels from the game of poker that match the game of life.  Jim not only brings those to the surface in his book, he demonstrates with a wry sense of humor how to dodge the royal flush. It will help anyone who wants to better themselves, and keep their sanity while doing it."

    Tim Flannery (San Diego Padres}  

    The author takes the approach that poker "is a crashcourse on the lessons of life." He compares it to a"mental boxing match" where wits and will clash and stamina, courage, intellect, patience and total character come into play. Childers creates two characters, "Nevada," the teacher and poker veteran, and Dan the student, trying to improve his game and life. The two characters interact�one learning from the other with lessons which discuss money, patience, winning, losing, action, decisions, probabilities, faith and people. No specific type of poker is focused on, but the advice and the logic behind it make this an entertaining and educational foray for those with an open mind and will to improve their approach to poker overall. 

Gamblers Book Club

    This book deals in a unique way with life on life's terms, personal growth, and the struggle to overcome fear. This is a very real book written by a man who has been there, come back, and is willing to share his strenght and hope with one and all.

Matt Manning (Irish born musician)

     Though I'm not a Poker player..or a gambler, the philosophy of the book addresses all aspects of correct attitude to living and life in general. I found it very spiritual and uplifting and should be read by all who suffer (as so many of us do) from "broke brains" and negative thinking patterns which curtails us from achieving our true human potential...both spiritually and physically.
