Poll: Do you think that reading relaxes the soul?

I love to read but I panic when it comes to the selection at the nearest book store.  I suppose I could read what's on Oprah's reading list but I am not really interested in the latest fad read.


Perhaps you can suggest a book that brings you comfort or inspires you to be great.  What is the book called?  Who is the author or author'ess'?  How does it positively contribute to your life or routine?


Inquiring minds want to know.  :)

Some books help you relax, some wind you up.  When I need to lift my spirits one of my  authors is T. Davis Bunn.  He did a series of books that were released just before the holiday season years ago.   The first was "The Quilt" and of course my favorite.  It always helps put me back on my journey path.


Read  The Secret last fall and Sabbath Keeping, they were both good.

The Quilt is hard to come by.  I found some copies at a half price book store that I put in Christmas basket for some good friends.  I've also found a copy or two at Barnes & Noble online.  I really hope you find it.  The series was


1) The Quilt  2) The Gift   3) The Messenger  4) The Music Box.  Along the same lines " Tiddings of Comfort & Joy"  it's a little longer than the others.  Another good read is " The Christmas Jars"


If you have daughters/granddaughters try "Twelve Golden Threads"

There is a great bookstore near me called BMG.  They sell new and used books and their prices are great.  I will check there before I go anywhere else.  I have no children but I will suggest the Twelve Golden Threds to girlfriends who do.  Thanks again!
