Do you have a book that really changed your life ?

The Color Purple by Alice Walker opened my eyes to so many things that I had been blind to. It really changed how I think and who I am. I think that the thing that changed me was discovering how we can enslave ourselves, and how we create our own freedom. I am very glad that I read it.

When I was in high school, I read a book that has been part of my attitude forever. It was Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. It was riveting! I felt the changes in me as they took place throughout the reading. I accept others as they are. I don't want to change anyone, nor will I have them change me. I accept myself, too. I'm overly emotional and overly logical. I'm OK with being just a bit bipolar. Other people are fascinating. Nobody is all that bad; there's a seed of goodness there somewhere. I hope I can help them grow that seed. I guess that's most of why I'm a teacher. The only thing I hate is hate. I believe each of us has a shiny little chunk of God in our souls, and we'll achieve great happiness if we focus on it and look for the God in others. We can mske this world a better place, and we must! Now that's a book that changed my life! Before reading it, I was a spoiled brat, the typical little pricess for whom nothing was ever good enough and nobody was ever acceptable. How sad I was!

i cant think of any book that changed my life...most books i read r fiction...which i read for fun...and classic novels tend to inspire me to write. if i had to choose, i would choose The Book of Genesis and how life began.

The Bible - reading God's word, trying to understand it, and seeking to live it out has completely changed my life. Other eye openers for me have been: 1) The Heavenly Man - the story of a Chinese believer who has been imprisoned several times for his faith and has witnessed many miracles despite the intense persecution of the government 2) Surprised by the Voice of God - Jack Deere - through Bible study and modern day testimonies I learned that I can hear God's voice today and that I should earnestly desire to have His guidance and that I should expect to hear from God
