[Andrea Barnett Budin]

I am never without a book or two. And I seem to have the need to underline and put stars and arrows beside especially poignant phrases and concepts. My husband says I can't read without a pen in my hand. (I used to think it was sacrilegious to write in a book, but now I see I simply must!)

A great biography was Love Is Eternal about Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd and the pivotal time in America's history, emancipating slaves and the differing views of families that lived in the South vs. the North. I found it riveting. Irving Stone is the author.

As for spiritual inspirational books about life and the discovery of Self -- this is my bailiwick! I devour them word by word. Any of Wayne Dyer's book will do. My favorites are The Sacred Self, You'll See It When You Believe It, Manifest Your Destiny.

Also in that vein, Gary Zucav's The Seat Of The Soul was life-altering.
The Power Of Now was a tough read but worth it, by the brilliant Eckhardt Tolle. The Four Agreements was good and I must say I enjoyed James Redfield's Celestine Prophecy, The Tenth Insight and The Secret of Shambala. Good stories with truths about our personal empowerment woven in. They are parables that resonant deeply.

The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind (Joseph Murphy) was interesting.

Happy reading...
