Short Review: This is the best memoir I have read in a while. I was, of course, a fan of Veggie Tales before picking up the book. But Phil Vischer's story of the rise and fall of Veggie Tales and his own strengths and weaknesses that lead to that rise and fall and how our blindness to ambition (and mixing ambition with a perceived calling from God) make this book worth reading. The last quarter of the book moves from straight memoir to what he has learned through the process and that is worth the price of the book. Occasionally I think the story of Big Idea got a little too technical and nitty-gritty, but part of that was necessary to give a full picture of what was going on. This a book that is worth reading if you are an entrepreneur and want to read it as a straight business book. But it is also well worth reading as a meditation on vocation or a memoir of spiritual growth. I really wasn't expecting to be as impressed with the book as I was.
