I mainly read spiritual books. They help me cope with my emotions and have faith that there is some purpose to my life. I thought we could have a thread where we share what we are reading. I'll start.

I'm re-reading Change Me Prayers: The Hidden Power of Spiritual Surrender by Tosha Silver. It's a book of short stories about the author's spiritual experiences and includes little prayers. It soothes my soul.

You know, I found a lot of books by Sylvia Browne the known psychic to have written a lot of spiritual books, and not just on psychic abilities or of the sort. She wrote a book on dreams, pets, angels, spiritual journeys, and all of them seemed to sound like she knew what she wss taking about. She even wrote a book about the Mother God, God, Mary Megdeline, and Jesus. Very interesting readings.

I like Sylvia Browne. I've read some of her books. That was years ago. I think I saw her on TV and that's how I got hooked. That's great that you enjoy her books.

This is an awesome thread! Thank you for it Deilla!

I guess I'll mention the one book besides the Bible that has influenced me for the good since 1992 to the present! (I listen to it, or parts of it often on youtube as an audiobook.) 'Hinds' Feet on High Places'! The most inspiring, encouraging book I've ever read besides the Bible! It's like a gentle, sweet friend with beautiful words and is an allegory about the spiritual journey. You learn lessons from nature. One of my favorites is about a tiny red flower with only two or three leaves and a stem that is thread-like in its thinness. It insists on blooming from out of the rock where it is imprisoned so that it can receive the sun's glorious rays!

@Return To Sender, that sounds like a lovely book. Thanks for sharing! I love nature. I might have to check it out.

Yes, that's a great book, inspired me to meditate daily!

Currently, I'm reading a book by Scott Hahn where he explains about the Catholic mass.

I'm reading Creating True Peace by Thich Nhat Hanh.

That's a good book. I have read it a few times. I used to keep a copy near me to look at when I needed an emotional boost. I hope you enjoy it!

I just found a new book by Rhonda Byrne. It's The Greatest Secret. I've read the first chapter. It's really good. It's helping my mood to read it.

I'm trying to read Andrew Phillip's Smith "The Secret History of the Gnostics", but it seems to start thundering Everytime I do.

I only partly believe it but I think the "Demiurge" is trying to scare me away from finishing it.
I tell Him/Her I'm not a Gnostic.
I don't believe in any texts.
Just basic principles shared by many others.
Probably across the entire Universe
