*The Bible:
Have you ever read The New Testament
and allowed it to motivate you? Try
the Good News Bible, and start by reading Paul's letters to the
Corinthians, or the Parables of Jesus; you
just might be inspired to read more!). If you find it difficult, then
The
Illustrated Bible retold by Neil and Ting Morris is really enjoyable for the
whole family, and the pictures give you a mental image to help take you back
in time!
Wayne Dyer
Dr Wayne Dyer is a very inspiring
writer and I can read his books many times over, learning a new message with
each reading. His writing is extremely motivating. His message
stays with you
for a long time and I find myself referring to his writings to assist
with many aspects of my life. The books I particularly recommend are:
Inspiration
The Power of Intention
10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace
*Manifest
your Destiny
You'll See it When You Believe It
Deepak Chopra
A prolific writer: his
wisdom is vast and all his books hold a similar message: ‘Love and
peace’ as the core, permeating through all the leaves. All books are
written beautifully. Just as Deepak speaks, he writes with compassion
and with discerning sincerity; an honest yearning for others to find
peace and joy in their lives. New books are always appearing, so do
check on his website!
Deepak’s books all hold
words of wisdom; the one’s listed below have truly inspired me:
The Spontaneous Fulfilment of Desire
*The
Seven Spiritual Laws of Success (a book you can read every day!)
The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga
How to
Know
God
The Book of Secrets
Golf for Enlightenment (made me seriously think about taking up
Golf!)
*Peace
is the Way (everyone on earth should read this book!)
*Power,
Grace, and Freedom
Perfect Health (A
healing guide: a must for cancer patients, includes advice on Ayurvedic well-being)
Novels by Deepak: (a very
deep and intriguing read, and you have to pay attention to or the
thread will be lost, but the message behind the scenes is extremely
powerful)
