Books whether e-books or the old fashioned hard or soft cover ones take you on a journey to places we have never been and probably never will go, yet at the same time they make us a better person. Especially when we apply some of the principles held within them only greater things can happen.

What a Woman Needs to Know About the Difference She Makes
Author: Dr. Leslie Parrott
Printed: 2006
Publisher: Zondervan Press
ISBN: 13: 9780310245988
This is not a book but a DVD that I really like watching and have viewed it a few times and get something new out of it every time.
Louie Giglio sermonette is in building a relationship with God. God has given us an invitation to come to know him and not to back off and tell God sorry we are so busy or have a dentist appt. He bases his talk on Micah 6:8 "The Lord has told what is good and acceptable in His sight. What is it that the Lord requires of you? It is to be just, to show mercy and to walk humbly with your God." (The Clear Word)
He also uses the one of the best known texts David ever wrote from Ps. 34:8 " Taste and find out for yourself how good God is Happy is the man who takes refuge in the Lord." (The Clear word)
You can know all the information and facts about Krispy Kremes and also the promise of the company and look at all the brochures and website you want, but it's not until you experience (eat) the donut, can you really understand the Krispy Kreme phenomena. It is the same with our relationship and experience with God. Don't sell yourself short.
When Hungry Eat
Author: Joanne Felder
Published: 2007
Publisher: Allen & Unwin
ISBN: 978-0-7369-2100-8
Every year I try to find one or two books that will be interesting and educational. I had been a busy period and every book I picked up I could only read a few pages before falling asleep. Nothing could keep my attention. I browsed the book shelves and came across this book.
I needed something to inspire me to read again. With school holidays coming up and travel on public transport for a few hours I needed something to capture my attention.
Joanne Felder did that with her presentation of how starting to diet changed her perception of life and where she found herself in a new country and a mother without family support or anything familiar. How all her experiences in life had come to this moment in time and now she needed to grow and become a more rounded person.
She did this by cutting out the fat, portioning her serves and take care to enjoy the taste of the food and also the other areas of her life. (This book looks at the Physical, social and spiritual plus the emotional side of life)
She uses her sense of humour and stories about her life and back ground as a Jew, South African living in Australia. A really rewarding read. Try it.
“He that loves a book will never want a faithful friend,
a wholesome counselor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter.
By study, by reading, by thinking,
one may innocently divert and pleasantly entertain himself,
as in all weathers, as in all fortunes.”
