"I love this book! LifeSkills touches upon many of the most critical topics in life ... such as integrity, change, communication, and conflict resolution ... but it does so in a way that begged me to keep on reading. The author is disarmingly honest as he shares his deep Christian faith, his outstanding business success, his own life experiences, and all the things he has learned to make your work and relationships so much better. This book is a jewel! Read it and read it again. You'll be better off if you do." --Dr. Alan Zimmerman, Hall of Fame Speaker, Coach, and Author

"LifeSkills, by Larry Dobbs, is no ordinary book. It is filled with inspiration, life accounts, failures, and successes. It offers infinite wisdom based on a lifetime of learning through personal experiences and missional purpose. LifeSkills will surprise you, inspire you, encourage you, and offer you nuggets of wisdom that will prove beneficial to you and your future.

"I heartily recommend Larry Dobbs' new book. He speaks powerfully and practically to show that doing life and doing business are not mutually exclusive. Anyone in any field of endeavor will be enriched by this fine book." -Mark Rutland, Ph.D., and Past President of Oral Roberts University and Southeastern University

"From Larry's humble beginnings, as son of a sharecropper in Georgia, to the owner and publisher of several magazines, to total reliance on a loving God throughout his life, LifeSkills is more than a biography, a devotional, or a management book. It's all of the above. And it's excellent reading. I read the book in two sittings and appreciate Larry's use of the Scriptures to bring it all together." --Jim Campbell, President and CEO of the Radio Training Network of 47 Christian radio stations

"LifeSkills gives a quick look at one of the bravest men I know. Larry Dobbs knew what it looked like when things went well and when they went bad, but was never afraid to try! He would always gather all the facts he could to make a decision. He would often share these LifeSkill Nuggets with his leadership team, and this book is filled with LifeSkills that he lived daily in his work and his life. Don't be surprised if you are so encouraged that you want to start a new magazine! It had that effect on me!" --Curt Patterson, Publisher of The Lakelander Magazine

"Larry Dobbs was a faithful friend and loyal member of ABBA's House church during his time in Chattanooga. His abilities were many and certainly encouraged the work of our church. I am glad he has written Lifeskills, and that so many will benefit from its clear message." --Dr. Ron Phillips, Pastor Emeritus, Abba's House, Chattanooga
