• Spiritual writings from most faiths have influenced us in healing our minds, and most importantly, our hearts.

• Poetry by:

• Maya Angelou

• I'll add more as they come to mind.
  As I've said previously, I've read all the books listed. If you have others to suggest, please email me. I'll read them, then include them. I only want to recommend books I've actually read, found useful & that promote healing. I'll add other pertinent titles as I rummage through my bookshelves, and dig deep into lost memory.
  

  The only banner I actually endorse is the BARNES & NOBLE book store below, we like the idea of a virtual book store. I can peruse for hours without ever having to brush my hair or get dressed & be respectable - hee hee.
