Hey everyone-
My Counselor gave me a book to read today and I am suppose to read it and see him next week, it's my homework lol. I am only on chapter 3 but it seems to be pretty cool so far. Just wondering if anyone else has read this book or heard of it? Just don't spoil it for me pretty please

It is called:
The Greatest Miracle in the World
by Og Mandino

LOL, Yes, that is a very good book, you should get a lot out of it if you keep an open mind.

Thanks Artur, I always like to keep an open mind. I actually can't put it down. But it is also a quick read so far.

Yes it goes fast...if you ever run across a small book called "As A Man Thinketh" by James Allen get it. or you can download it here.

As a Man Thinketh by James Allen - Project Gutenberg

Thanks Artur, I have downloaded and printed the copy! I also finished The Greatest Miracle in the World. What an awesome book! Especially when detoxing and/or being newly clean and sober! I really enjoyed it. It actually has me thinking daily about myself and God's will for me. I am daily praying for God to do His will with me and show me the way instead of me always trying to have it my way.
