Spiritually Speaking Challenge




I like to seek and explore. My favorite area to do just that is the spiritual realm of our lives. Therefore, I have decided to turn it into a challenge. Why not! The rules of the challenge are:

1. Read 6 books from January 31st, 2009 to June 30th, 2009.
2. The main theme of all the titles you choose must be spiritual, metaphysical or self-help.
3. The books can be both fiction & non-fiction.
4. You don't have to have a blog to participate* (read up for a small amendment)
5. A new copy of 'Happiness is a Choice' by Barry Neil Kaufman will be raffled away at the
end of the challenge among the participants. You don't have to do anything special, just have
fun! And let's fate decide who gets the prize.

To give you an idea of what books are allowed in the challenge, I am posting my list:


1.'The Witch of Portobello' by Paulo Coehlo (fiction)
2. 'The Last Lecture' by Randy Pausch (non-fiction)
3. 'Color Me Butterfly' by L.Y. Marlow (non-fiction)
4. 'Autobiography of a Yogi' by Paramahansa Yogananda (non-fiction)
5. 'Blessed Are The Meek' by Zofia Kossak (fiction)
6. 'Such A Pretty Fat' by Jen Lancaster
7. Elijah's Coin by Steve O'Brien

    I was thinking Jeska that maybe once you post your reviews on your blog you can just send me a comment with your URL for the challenge list as well as your reviews and I can add them to links under my original challenge specifying what the link is for.
    Let me know if that would work?

    I have a few Christianity authors that I need to catch up on. This will be a great opportunity to do so. I will be posting the reviews on both my book blog and my "Christianity" blog.

    I goofed>> I thought this started January 1 not the 31st, so I have to remove my 1st book finished: The Four Agreements. Not a problem though I liked the book :)

    I wasn't sure where to let you know that I've read my first book for this challenge. I haven't taken part in too many challenges, so this is all new to me.
