Books I Love.

 

I have always relished books...the thoughts expressed in little black letters, the feel of the cover, the smell of the pages.  Everything about a book speaks volumes.  And I have held thousands of them in my hands.  I wish I could remember every good fictional book I have ever read and make a list.

For today, I will write a few of the books that, over the last few years, have brought me joy, blessed my life, given me hope, or literally transformed me.  I can't remember them all but I'm inspired to keep a more comprehensive list from now on.  For now, here is what I remember.

{Books that have changed my life}

#1. The Book of Mormon

This book will always be my favorite...every time I read the answers to my questions and needs are given and I walk with greater faith as I apply the teachings of this book.

#2. Believing Christ by Stephen E. Robinson

I am reading this now and I can honestly say that this book has given me the tools to truly transform my relationship with Christ and has given me a greater understanding of what the Atonement is truly all about.

#3. One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp

My entire perspective of existence has been changed by the tenets of this book.

{Books that have greatly enhanced my life}

#4. Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach

This is a daybook that has encouraged me to find my authentic self...can be read in the temporal, creative sense, but can also be compared to things of a spiritual nature.

#5. The Water Secret by Howard Murad

I have been able to greatly enhance my well-being through this holistic approach to emotional and physical health.  proposes that the nutrients found in fruits and vegetables have the key to hydrating our cells and helping us look and feel years younger.
