Reading so far...

Hello bookworms,

I hope you are all enjoying the books chosen for this month

I must say, the books seem very relevant to our present day lives, especially now the government and whoever has a voice, seem to be calling upon the wrath of the gods of credit crunch and all sorts of financial and wealth crisis!

It is good, in the midst of it all, to hear and read a voice of reason and wisdom to help us along as we strive to avoid the economic portholes littering our way.


Happy reading.

Regards

Book Reading for September

Hello fellow readers,

The reading for this month consists of two very light but extremely useful and enriching books.

First Read: The Money Secret by Rob Parsons





A brief introduction:
In this practical and life-changing book, Rob Parsons takes a look at one of the most pressing modern crises - living with unmanageable debt. In a hard-hitting but supportive way, he gives help, not just in climbing out, but also in understanding what it is that encourages people to live on credit. You will treasure this wisdom long after you have finished the last page. If you are in debt it will help you out, if you are financially secure it will help you be wise with your money, and if you feel that nobody could understand the sheer loneliness of financial pressure, then ‘The Money Secret’ will become your friend.





Second Read: The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. CLASON

A brief Introduction:
Beloved by millions, this timeless classic holds the key to all you desire and everything you wish to accomplish. This is the book that reveals the secret to personal wealth. Countless readers have been helped by the famous "Babylon parables", hailed as the greatest of all inspirational works on the subject of thrift, financial planning, and personal wealth.
In a language as simple as that found in the Bible, these fascinating and informative stories set you on a sure path to prosperity and it's accompanying joys.
Acclaimed as a modern day classic, this celebrated best seller offers an understanding of - and a solution to - your personal financial problems that will guide you through a lifetime.
This is the book that holds the secret to acquiring money, keeping money and making money earn more money.




Reading Timeline:

Happy reading and learning.
