Book Picks

May/June Book Pick
The Poisonwood Bible
by Barbara Kingsolver

Many of you may have already read this interesting and sometimes heartbreaking novel. It was Oprah's book pick in July of 2000.

It grabbed me from the first page and I am sure it will grab you too. It is not a fluffy love story, it is a book of substance. If you have not already picked up this novel please do this summer. I hope you enjoy it and if any of my readers would like I have two copies and would be happy to pass on this great read.
April Book Pick
Plain and Simple
by Sue Bender

This is a book that I have had for many years. I have reread it several times and just this week it landed on my bedside table again. It is quite a coincidence as my life lately seems to be a bit more hectic than I would like it to be. The message is PLAIN and SIMPLE just like the title. The author in her search for the meaning of the simplicity of the Amish quilt discovers”a world where clutter and hurry are replaced with inner quiet and calm ritual”.
This book speaks to the seeker in all of us.
February Book Pick
Smart Women Finish Rich
by David Bach

This is his take on this book Here are two things I liked:

1) his balanced approach to 'wealth'. He does this by encouraging the reader to develop a statement of their values and then to see the part that money plays. Wealth, then is not only money, but relationships, health, autonomy, etc.

2) He affirms that women are excellent money managers, and offers concepts and tools to increase their efficiency.”This is a great read as well as a motivational tool for women particularly to take control of their finances. David Bach also has several books in his Finish Rich series almost forgot that I have been reading this book and was following the program in the book with a friend of mine.

Decmeber Book Pick
Simple Abundance
A Day of Comfort and Joy
By Sarah Ban Breathnach

The book addresses a broad spectrum of beliefs and however hectic my days seem at times I have that one thought for the day that brings me back to the “Simple Abundance “ of my life. The authors goal in her writing is to assist in clearing the clutter of our daily lives so you can find the authentic life we were born to live.” I hope you enjoy this daily read as much as I have.

November Book Pick
The 8th Habit
By Stephen R Covey

I am now reading The 8th Habit written by Stephen Covey. This book speaks to me on many levels. There are several passages that are particularly poignant.
“The 8th Habit" is to Find Your voice and Inspire Others to Find Their Voice”. I say how can you find your voice if you can’t find your keys? This is organizing from a level much deeper than the paper or clutter, it goes to the heart of the matter.
