Book 1: Bible!

Book 2: Adventure Books!

Book3: Educational!

Why? Because I read them… Duh!

Don’t blame me for being so exact! WordPress started it!

And, as I was trying to be as honest as possible… no exaggerations, embellishments or confusions here. The prompt made the mistake of putting a period in the question!

What I saw…

List three books that have had an impact on you, the operative word being AN.

Then I saw…

Why?

Why what?

If I actually answered the question to the letter, I must assume they want to know why I planned on listing three books, which I myself had planned to ask them. But they asked me first and so I don’t really know why I was going to list three books. So now we are in this revolving circle of asking each other the same question, to answer a question that I could answer at different times in my life, giving an entirely different answer, therefore changing the why part of the question that we haven’t even decided on the why, for why we were listing three books in the first place! Oh bother, now I’m tired!

Here, have a cookie with me… we need this one…

Keepin it simple…

One would imagine that a writer would have a list longer than ones arm, readily available to regail you with insightful pearls of wisdom. Ya….No! Don’t get me wrong, I am a writer and I have read enough books to fill a small library. And trust me, I have many things I could pull from them to impress.

What I will do, is share my three favorite books with a quick why attatched. No fancy bells or whistles...

Hinds Feet on High Places by Hanna Hannard – It brought home to me who God was, to me, at a very delicate time in my life.

The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis – For me, this book was almost a preparatory step towards my salvation.

The Five Love Languages of Children by Gary Chapman – This book not only opened my eyes in how to love my girls, it has shaped how I try to fulfill love in others, children and adult alike. For me, this book was a life changer!
