This book is a gem. This book inspired me not just as a parent, but as a professional. I was unable to put the book down. Topics ranging from handling failure, managing finances, and choosing friends wisely to being a great finisher in whatever you start are all spot-on for teenagers and parents today. Ed uses powerful stories and illustrations, as well as action steps and challenges that make the “drops of wisdom” easy to apply.”

During my 25-year career as a middle school principal and my 10 years of life coaching, I was always looking for resources to help adolescents and parents develop positive character traits. I would have had copies of Drops of Wisdom in our school library, and I would have given out copies in parenting seminars. The real value is revealed when you dig in and uncover the diamonds through the "Action Steps" Mr. Finnerty has so thoughtfully designed at the end of each chapter.

Drops of Wisdom uses Ed Finnerty’s genuine sense of values, hard work, and wisdom to help us navigate our journey of growth across the ocean of life.

“This book should be in every middle and high school in America. This is a book that kids should write in, underline, review, and go back to for advice many times throughout the years.”

“It’s a great read! I really enjoyed it! I am looking forward to sharing it with my kids!”

“I wish I knew these principles when I was a teenager or when I was raising my children.”
