4 more books added to the recommended reading list | Law of Attraction | Self-Help

I have added a further section to my recommended reading list as follows. Whilst the other recommended books point the way directly to liberation, these books instead may help you more in your daily life:

Appendix 2 – other book recommendations

These are books that contain teachings that are not directly liberating but may be helpful to you on the path. Some of these I have read myself, others are books that people I have worked with have found particularly helpful for them.

1. Jesus Calling by Sarah Young (a book for devotional practice)

This is a beautiful book, devotional in nature, written by a Christian, which encourages us to feel God’s Presence, Love and Support throughout our life. There is an entry to read for each day of the year. Whilst it is dualistic in nature, it can serve as a wonderful reminder to surrender to That Higher Power and lean on It rather than try to do everything by oneself…and much more…highly recommended for those who resonate

2. Maximum Achievement by Brian Tracy (a book for personal success in daily life)

This wonderful book, which in my opinion is a spiritual book disguised as a self-help productivity manual, contains many skills and tips on all areas of your life in order to help you attain personal success. It gives advice on health, energy levels, finances, relationships, personal fulfillment and peace of mind. Have a read, see if you like it.

3. The Astonishing Power of Emotions by Abraham Hicks (on the Law of Attraction)

This wonderful book summarises many of the teachings given by Abraham Hicks on the Law of Attraction and also helps us use our own positive and negative emotions to guide us along the way. See if it resonates with you.

4. The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt (a book on society and politics)

I haven’t read this book myself, but some of us find the area of society and politics to be a cause of confusion, stress and worry, and several people have told me that this book has helped them. See what you think and feel free to let me know.

There is a mighty battle… foretastes of Heaven | Jesus Calling | Christ within | Sarah Young | Self-Enquiry

Jesus – ‘do not love the world or things in the world’

There is a mighty battle going on for control of your mind. Heaven and earth intersect in your mind; the tugs of both spheres influence your thinking. I created you with the capacity to experience foretastes of heaven. When you shut out the world and focus on My Presence, you can enjoy sitting with Me in heavenly realms. This is an incredible privilege reserved for precious ones who belong to Me and seek My Face. Your greatest strength is your desire to spend time communing with Me. As you concentrate on Me, My Spirit fills your mind with Life and Peace.

The world exerts a downward pull on your thoughts. Media bombard you with greed, lust, and cynicism. When you face these things, pray for protection and discernment. Stay in continual communication with Me whenever you walk through the wastelands of this world. Refuse to worry, because this form of worldliness will weigh you down and block awareness of My Presence. Stay alert, recognizing the battle being waged against your mind. Look forward to an eternity of strife-free living, reserved for you in heaven.

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus – EPHESIANS 2:6 

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. – ROMANS 8:6 

Do not love the world or anything in the world… The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. – 1 JOHN 2:15-17

The above text, including the cited biblical verses, is taken from a book called ‘Jesus Calling’ (entry dated September 19th) – this is a wonderful daily devotional text for lovers of Jesus and Source, written by Sarah Young
