I've always cringed at the sound of a teacher giving a reading assignment in school. I certainly have never as a student, just read for pleasure! Who does that? [haha] Actually, I do now! Anyway, I'm always seeking for self-improvement, and I am finding out that books are one of the greatest sources for that. [ok, so I'm slow] Several years ago while enjoying a great cup of coffee in Barnes and Noble, I looked around and saw all these books, and people with their noses in them. I thought to myself, a book would be a great accessory to my outfit. It dawned on me that maybe I should be taking reading more seriously. Then I stumbled upon a bright yellow book with a happy face on it. It was appealing and I began to read the back cover and my interest was sparked! I bought the 4:8 Principle by Tom Newberry and that's when I started a new habit of keeping a good book at my disposal. When I finished this book I shared it with my close friends and they just loved it!! So, I encourage you to read this book if you need a good pick me up and a good positive happy read!
I recently just finished "His Needs Her Needs" and really benefited from it. My boyfriend, Chad, and I read it together and discussed it after each chapter. I advise anyone who is in a serious relationship to read this!! The current book we are reading together is 101 Questions You Should Ask Before Getting Engaged, and Devotions For Dating Couples. This will make you discuss deep questions and learn so much about one another! There is always room for improvement and I am always open to storing it in my memory.
I guess what I am trying to say is, if you were caught dead, or if someone was snooping through your things, what book would they find you reading?
