My Top 3.

Since my first post was about books, I thought it would be good to continue with the same topic.


If you had to pick three books that inspire you the most what would they be?


My Top 3:



3. Redeeming Love
Author: Francine Rivers


This book is about a girl, who follows a way of life that most people disagree with & that's all I'm going to say. If you want to find out what happens you should go to your public library and check this book out. It is inspiring to me and is one of my favorites because 
this girl goes through an absolute transition from being one person, who I wouldn't see as a role model; to another person, who I wish existed today so that her example could shine through for the rest of the world to see.

2. Pride and Prejudice.
Author: Jane Austen


Oh, how cheesy, Pride and Prejudice. But it really is a great book and teaches many life lessons. Such as how gossip can destroy people and how you shouldn't trust everyone you meet. However, it has a happy ending. Even though the characters go through many ups and downs they find a way to stay true to themselves, as well as their family that loves them no matter what may happen. 



1. The Bible
Author: God



When I think of what inspires me {in the Bible}, the first thing that comes to mind would be the great love that God has for all the people in the world. He is so amazing and I couldn't think of a better book to choose for the most inspiring.

 It's an action packed, suspenseful, almost tragic, love story  ... 

I couldn't think of anything better to choose besides God's Holy word.

Now that I've shared my Top 3 Books, maybe you could share a few of yours with me...


Have a truly amazing day :) Optimistically, Bethany Lea

Books

There is one thing that can absolutely make me feel better no matter how bad my day has been, and that is...







 BOOKS!



Books?

Why books?

 Because when you read a book you can lost in another world.

A world not full of hate, death, or failure.

When you read a book everything seems better than in actual life.


 As you are opening a book, you are opening the beginning of a story in which you don't know the charcters personally, but most of the time you feel a connection with them.

You eventually find a way to relate to them.
{At least I know I do}



While books are great, I don't read them to forget about my problems or pretend things aren't bad in the world; I read them because when I read a book, I instantly feel better.

It may sound cheesy but books make me so happy.

A kind of happiness that you can't find in too many places.





I hope that the next time you read a book...
 it makes you feel better inside, and you feel inspired to do something good so that people can see the positive side of life.
