My most recent reading influences meaning in Today's version, are Dr. Henry Cloud's Necessary Endings & The Power of the Other; Mark Buchanan's Spiritual Rhythm and Jeff Goin's Real Artists Don't Starve. However, my real source of personal/intimate writing style comes from the Holy Book where revelations of the truth of the "I am" is the real creator of the masterpiece of immoveable words, lyrical writing, and the greatest storyteller we will ever know. The Holy Bible is the only book that is breathed with the help of the Holy Spirit that is accounted for by the apostles of Christ. That is why it has to be read with spiritual wisdom that is beyond our mental capacity. The only one that can help us achieve that is the Holy Spirit. With Jeff Goins, Dr. Henry Cloud & Mark Buchanan's style of writing is off the charts. Their voice evokes their personal relationship with the Lord and you see that in their writing. Mark Buchanan's Spiritual Rhythm is the book that I read every changing season because "it teaches us to respond to the weather of the heart, whether we are flourishing and fruitful, stark and dismal, or cool and windy. In comparing spiritual changes to the seasons of the year, Mark Buchanan shows us what to expect from each season and how embracing those rhythms allows our spiritual lives to prosper.'' Thus, I connect emotionally with Mark Buchanan's voice in writing. With Dr, Henry Cloud, his expertise in fostering personal and professional growth had given me good insights moving forward. His "Necessary Endings" book has taught me " to know when to have realistic hope and when to execute a necessary ending with a person or group of people. And how to stop wasting resources needed for the things that really matter." In short, when to say goodbye and move on! Jeff Goins' first published book, "Wrecked," on August 1, 2012, was the very first book I read when I started Blogging. I've read all his books. I had attended his free video conferences on line. Not all of them but I did. His choice of words is heartfelt, honest and engaging. Reading his work is like I'm in a conversation with him up close and personal. His writing is so dynamic and relatable, easy to understand, as it flutters to the heart. I can't wait to read his next book which is in the making. Each of us has that creative gift as a storyteller. How we tap it and hone it is real work that has good benefits, fulfillment to the core of your being.Hope you guys consider reading my favorite authors' gifts to your soul. |
