Besides the Bible - What ONE BOOK has changed your view on life/yourself/the world?
I would have to say.... as cheesy as this sounds, (Besides my own, book, heh) I would have to say THE SECRET.... bash away, yet it just really helped me for some reason and was the "GATE WAY DRUG" to opening my mind.

I would rate Ayn Rand anywhere up there, also,

I remember, early 20s, running to California to "start fresh" and while in the Hostel reading "Atlas Shrugged" and from that moment on just thinking differently about life.

What about you? What book changed your life?

Real quick: "Truman" by David McC - really connected to me, about President Harry Truman - whom in the book I felt as if we shared similar traits, attributes, and in a VANILLA SKY moment.... One client of mine said "Your passion reminds me of a young Harry Truman."

So that has stuck.

How about you?

I'll have to check that one out!

I refuse to use Amazon any more... after what they DID TO ME - and learning how they up-charge "Prime" and what they allowed to happen to my book... Just, SCREW AMAZON!

So, I shall check that book out... /off rant considering Amazon.

Fox's book of martyrs.

Really opens your eyes to the horror the catholic church imposed on the world for 1260 years.

Share the struggles, hopes and joys and ultimately their painful and sometimes down right disgusting deaths at the hands of the popes and jesuits of rome.

Very eye opening

Do you think the Catholic Church is the "Whore of Babylon" in the sense that it goes against what "JESUS ACTUALLY TAUGHT?"

I'm adding everyone suggestions into books I'm going to order or E-book'em.

Much appreciated!

all the books except for the scroll of Isaiah
are not in the Bible.
the book of Isaiah is
but the Giants scroll of Isaiah is in full and separate and much older than the Bible.
same story same characters a thousand or more years older than the Bible

I love you brother hope you have a wonderful day and I hope this helps youhf

Try the website " ourspiritualnutrition.com " and find out what you belief systems are wrecking your life. Remember, it all starts with a thought, and Satan loves to pump in all kinds of crap into your head.

For me it was one book containing Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

These might sound like children's stories, yet, for some reason I would continue to read them into college and beyond.

They presented me a world that wasn't quite as it seemed on the surface, yet, one that was easy to see through and navigate once you learned to discern each element individually --which, if you learned your lesson well, would hopefully allow you trump it on its own terms.

It's full of wisdom and life lessons presented rather neatly in double-speak and nonsense, much like our own world.

My "gateway " book is "Jonathon Livingston Seagull" not because of the actual literature, but because of the author.
