I've read a few. Black Elk Speaks, the Bible, etc. The Secret really helped me get my current job, and Your Infinite Power Rich by Joseph Murph, D.D (Doctor of Divinity-a Minister in this case) really changed a lot of things for me last week. So what book or books have changed your life? Why or how (if you don't mind telling)? Thanks

Well I have just started to read the Secret, I must say there sure are alot of Ahaaa momets in there. Who new we had that much power over all we acheive and have in this life. I am loving it so far. I also have a prayer book I enjoy alot and use all the time. It is a book full of prayers by women from all over and from times gone by and the present. Great book. It is called Soul Weaving, A gathering of womens prayers. Wonderful. Edited by Lyn Klug.

Soul Weaving sounds really cool. I will have to check that out, too.
Have you seen the diary that goes with the Secret? Very expensive. I would think a person can use any kind of blank journal to write and do just as well. Yes,that book is very interesting and we do have a lot of power over our lives, more than we realize, more than I certainly realized. Thanks, take care, and happy reading-insights!

I had a tv show change my life.
Believe it or not, it was Star Trek.
Thru Star Trek I discovered science fiction and my interest in life! Before I was just trying to get along under the "radar" so to speak, but after science fiction, I always had a goal, the next book to read or movie to see or episode of what ever show I'm interested in to watch. Currently Doctor Who and Torchwood.

I hope it does help you. "Your Infinite Power to be Rich" by J. Murphy really helped me last week. First to see how being upset was standing in my way and then to see how I could change things around so money would come before my bills instead of afterward. "The Secret" helped me to see possibilities where I saw impossibilities. Take care

I have recently read:-
GROWING UP TOUGH by Taylor Caldwell.
This is her autobiography.
This lady met with such adversity in her life that
it was practically unbearable.
It taught me a big lesson.
I always knew that life was not meant to be easy.
The book confirms this and uplifts ones
spirit and gets you to appreciate wat you currently
have.
