inspirational, makes me laugh and makes me sad.

I just bought this after reading Phil Vischer's Blog... Get it. Read it. Live it.

I have no affinity for Veggie Tales as a whole. My kids don’t really get into it. That said, someone recommended this book to me July of 2007.

I have no affinity for Veggie Tales as a whole. My kids don’t really get into it. That said, someone recommended this book to me July of 2007.

At it height, Big Idea was doing 38 Million in gross sales, but many factors in and outside the business led to its ultimate demise. In the end of the book Vischer lays out the business (and life) lessons that he learned from his failure with Big Idea. I think that every business person should take the time to read this book and glean from the wisdom that was learned.    hide

In this tell-all book, Big Idea co-founder Phil Vischer explains how his little show about talking vegetables became an overnight sensation, only to have internal issues, shoddy business, and fickle public opinion ruin it just as quickly. A must for any Big Idea fan.
