Book Reading for the month of April

Firstly, Happy Easter fellow book worms.

Last month's book reading was a very interesting one. I could hardly put the book down from the moment I picked it up. There was a lot of 'ouch' moments whilst reading them as it went on to present a new meaning to the term and action 'dating' !! I learnt a a whole lot of new things, and had to let go of old reasonings and thinkings - not an easy feat I tell you.


Quite a few of the recommendations, I am working on and through right now, and I must say it presents quite an interesting reality to dating. How about you? How did you find the book or what did you learn from it?


Moving on to this month's book reading; in view of the global economic climate I have decided to choose a book that goes the opposite direction of the media's message of doom and gloom.


What we allow to reside within our minds and seep into our sub-consciousness, eventually becomes our reality. To escape and rise above the reality of recession and stories of doom and gloom that is evident in today's world, we must change our thinking. When we change our thinking to positive things and success stories, for instance, and let those things become our more dominant thoughts; eventually, it will be come our sweet reality.


I am sure most have heard the saying "as a man thinks in his mind, that is what he will eventually become". What are you thinking about yourself and your situation or circumstance?


I hope this book further encourages and teaches us how change our thinking, and eventually our lives for the good.


This month, we will be consuming the following:
