Have You Ever Read a Book That Changed Your Life?

Most of us can name a book that impacted us at a crucial time in our lives. Think about your favorite books - the ones that have influenced you. Have you ever read a book and wanted to share it with a friend or family member? ("You've got to read this book!") Has someone ever encouraged you to read a book and you were so glad that they did!? That's the world of books. They're part of our culture, part of our lives. Some people can't live without books.

How much is a good book worth? A book may only cost a few dollars but what value would you place on the time spent reading a special book to a special child? What value would you place on being able to curl up with a good novel and distract yourself for a few hours from the pressures of life? Have you ever expanded your mind with a book during lunch? Have you ever read a book that helped you improve a relationship or a job or talent? Have you ever read a spiritual book that flooded your heart with peace during a difficult time? If so, you'll know what we mean when we say that the right book at the right time is literally worth its weight in gold.

Books are powerful.

They contain the condensed wisdom and skill of the smartest minds in the world. Books give you leverage. The lessons of a lifetime can be transferred from the authors' mind to yours in a few short hours-saving you time and money. Books are transformational. Well-written words can transport you on the wings of your imagination to a whole new world.

Books are accelerators of success.

They reveal the shortcuts to what you've always wanted. Books are revolutionary. This is true not only of individuals, but of civilizations. Every major world movement began with a book. From Uncle Tom's Cabin to The Communist Manifesto, every major political revolution has a book at its core. From the Bible to the Qur'an, every major religious movement started with a book. From Rachel Carson's Silent Spring to Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, every societal upheaval was born of a book. No wonder books are cherished, extolled and even feared.
