I've heard of "Prophet" "Flashes" and "Way." Thanks for the post. They all look great. Now I have some homework.

It is one of those books you can take down from the shelf whenever you need it.

Congrats on the wedding of our daughter. How wonderful!!

I've known The Prophet since I was 17 and have re-read it over the decades many times, usually at a transition point, or when my eyes land on it on my bookshelf. I intend to read his passage on Marriage at my daughter's wedding later this year.
Thank you, Cathy, for following Beauty Along the Road.

"Unbroken" was difficult for me, for some reason, but also a fabulous book.

I am so glad you are enjoying my blog. Thank you so much for letting me know.

Best~
Cathy

I read it for the first time about eight years ago. It absolutely spoke to my soul as my "jar was open" and I was feeling free for the first time in my life. I read it, I cried and then I read it again!

Just finished UNBROKEN... I loved all 500 pages. Its a book that changes ones perspective.

I'm really enjoing your blog. Have a good day.

I agree with you and Lois. That's why I am sad about the closings of bookstores. I would sometimes peruse the shelves on a free night when I wanted to get out a little, particular when my son was young. Just the smell and feel of books is relaxing!

I hope you get a chance to read some of them. They have literally been lifesavers for me! Plus, I love when dear friends give them to me - then they have even more of a special meaning!

These all sound extremely worthwhile.

Did you say books? These are such great recommendations, Cathy - thank you! A few are familiar to me and a few are new and I look forward to checking them out. I agree with Lois Alter Mark's observation that sometimes just looking at favorite books can make us feel better - like a good friend - we know what's inside. The War of Art is a tiny book with big wisdom on creativity and is a fave of mine too.

So thank you.

If you do read the other books, let me know your thoughts!
