Me:
Nonfiction:
The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck, M.D. A board member reccomended this to me. It was quite eye opening as far as emotional growth and spiritual growth. I like Dr. Peck's belief that they're one in the same. An old book but a good book. This book changed my life.
The Prayer Of Jabez by Bruce Wilkinson. I know a lot of people like this book, but for me it wasn't all that spectacular. It didn't inspire me and it seemed too short and superficial.
Living With The End In Mind by Erin Tierney Kramp, et al. About learning how to die with dignity and grace, while still having all your earthly matters in order so that your loved ones won't have to. It covers things such as planning your funeral, and how to preserve memories. I don't plan to die any time soon, but this book is also for healthy people. It also changed my life.
The Blue Day Book by Bradley Trevor Grieve. Not really a nonfiction book since it's a picture book about being sad, but I've talked about how much I love this book before. It's an awesome book for when you're feeling blue. Kids love it, too, and it only costs $6 at Walmart. This book did not change my life.
Fiction:
The Silk Vendetta by Victoria Holt. Cheesy 1900s-ish British romance novel about a silk producing family and their rivals in France. I liked it anyway. I read it twice.
Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. A novel about the history of philosophy. Enough said. I read it all 515 pages in 2 days. I loved it.
Back Roads by Tawni O'Dell. A novel set in rural Pennsylvania about a young man raising his siblings after his father was killed and his mother went to prison. I found many, many, things similar to my own life in this book. It was even on Oprah. It changed my life, too.
