Here is the second edition of our #BookRecommendationThursday. This is from Kunmi Oni of kunmio.com.
1) SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
Living beyond your feelings- Joyce
Meyer
1 Corinthians 9:19-22.
Joyce Meyer is one of my absolute
favorite authors. This is the Ultimate book to finding
emotional balance, manage your emotions and deal with others. If you are seeking to live beyond
fear, depression, lust, grief, emotional or physical abuse then you should
totally read this book.
Discover the Keys to staying full of
God- Andrew Wommack
I bought this book last year and I
tried to read it. For some reason after reading the first chapter, I though the
book was boring and I left it in the shelf. Sometime last month, I was
feeling low spiritually and I woke up crying and singing "fill my cup
lord". And God directed me to the shelf where I had kept this book.
The devil tries too hard but the harder he tries, he pushes me closer to
God because there's really no other way. This book really did teach me how to
stay Full of God. Now I know that anytime I feel down spiritually, I
should: BE THANKFUL, USE THE
POWER OF MY IMAGINATION, GLORIFY GOD, LOVE INTENSELY!
Pink Lips and Empty Hearts - Heather
Lindsey
A good read for every young lady seeking to develop an
intimate relationship with God. I love how she writes like she's having
a conversation with her friend or younger sister. I definitely
enjoyed reading this. I learned a lot!
2) PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Monk who sold his Ferrari -Robin
Sharma
This book gave a lot of Aha Moments.
It was like reading the Alchemist again. If you loved the Alchemist, you would
definitely Love this book. And if you have not read The Alchemist, I recommend
both.
Four Agreements -Miguel Ruiz
This book is 70 pages of wisdom
bombs! It’s perfect for anyone big on personal development. Although some of
the chapters did not sit well with me as a Christian but in all it’s a great
book. The four agreements are like a guide to authentic living. BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD, DO NOT TAKE THINGS
PERSONALLY, NEVER ASSUME, ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
The Purpose Driven Life - Rick
Warren
I'm on a 40-days journey to
discovering my purpose via the contents of this book and by the Grace of
God.
3) BUSINESS
The Art of the Start - Guy Kawasaki
I have recently added Guy to my list
of role models/ mentors. I'm a DIY girl. I like to do things myself and get
help only when needed. I believe all self-employed people are DIY people as
well. I've always thought "even if I have to work for anyone at first, I
must eventually do my own thing". This is the ultimate guide to starting a
business or anything at all. I must confess that I'm not done reading it
because this is not a book you rush to read, you have to soak in it and let the
pages of every chapter sink whilst applying it to your venture.
The Art of Evangelism - Guy
Kawasaki
I've often heard people say
"maximize your strengths and work on your weaknesses" or something
like that. That’s what I've spent this year trying to do. By God's grace there
are a lot of things I'm good at but I still have so many things I have to work
on as well e.g. public speaking, marketing. I found this article in the page of
a Harvard Business Review Magazine. It gave me a push towards putting myself
out there.
It’s not how good you are, it’s how
good you want to be - Paul Arden
This is a book every creative or
creative enthusiast must read. It’s a really short book and I finished reading
it in about 45 minutes. I peek into it occasionally to get motivation
and inspiration I might need at the time. This book gives answers to questions
you might have when you're trying to make the most out of yourself. If you need
that little push to showcase your talent, this is your go-to book.
