I’m always reading. In fact, at any one time you will find at least 2 or 3 books beside my bed. Novels have never really been my thing (even though I do read some). Personal development and spiritual growth books, on the other hand, are my absolute love. I get so excited each time a new book finds me. Books fuel my body, mind and soul with “the good stuff”.
To share my love and passion of books, I’ve created a reading list, which has been 20 years in the making. I’m guessing I’ve read anywhere between 700 – 1,000 over that time.
I’ve done my best to keep the list of books, as simple and as compact as possible, so I’ve allocated them into different groups. I hope this helps. I trust you find some valuable books you haven’t read before, that bring inspiration and healing to your life.

I absolutely love this book. It’s certainly in my top 10 all time favourite books.
