Live Your Life from the Perspective of Eternity
Surviving the Darkness
The Family of Mankind: Loving Your Neighbors

Another one of those books chock full of dogma and mysticism. I deleted the book after the first chapter. I give it a minus two stars for the overload of devolutional content it's filled with. Haha! It's you that does everything. It's you that either decides everything and has to deal with reality on an independent basis.
