Jim's Favorite Books
Having
read hundreds of books in my lifetime, rarely has one held my
interest from start to finish. Ray Owen managed to do that in
his book, The Hole. There are multiple storylines taking place
that are filled with intrigue; sometimes intertwined, but also
strong enough to stand alone. The main character, Steve Clark,
has a personality that manages to shine through from the words
in this book. The same can be said for virtually all of the
players written into the pages of each chapter.
When I first received my copy, my personal reaction was that I
was glad there were so many chapters because it meant I wouldn't
have to force myself to read too many pages at a time. With 362
pages, I figured it would take me weeks to find the time to get
to it. Instead, I found myself unable to put the book down; not
so much because of what I already read, but because I couldn't
wait to see what was going to happen next. Ray Owen has done a
marvelous job in capturing the imagination of many. The Hole is
a conglomerate of mystery, heart-warming love story, business
ventures, heartbreak, with a strong dash of religious or
spiritual undertones that only enhance the overall message.
As the pages were winding down, the speed in which I was reading
became noticeably slower because I did not want the book to end.
I am eagerly hoping that Ray Owen continues supplying us with
more great work in the future.
This
book is a gift to all of us! Steve has encapsulated many of the
messages you would hear during his seminars or on his radio
show, Empowered Living. I met Steve when he was fresh out of the
military and it was easy to see how dynamic he was. I knew he
would elevate his game to where it is today.
Life, The Truth and Being Free is a very enjoyable read. There
are no rules to reading it because whether you open it from the
first page, or decide to glance at different pages, you will
find it helpful. Steve's humor, inspirations and motivational
anecdotes are spilling out in every part of this unique book. It
makes no difference if you are looking for something to lift
your spirits, or something more profound to help you move along
the path of your life, this book is a must have! There is no way
to be disappointed if you are looking for guidance about almost
every aspect of life. Relationships, to deeper messages about
manifestation, are covered in a unique set of quotes. For me,
they are each designed to work on conscious and subconscious
levels. Whether you are an ardent fan, or someone who is looking
for the impetus to set your path in the right direction, Steve Maraboli has presented the simple "how to" manual. Afterall, as
Steve says, "Change is the Parent of Progress."
