Have a little Faith by Mitch Alboom

Have a little Faith by Mitch Alboom is an exemplar of how faith can do miracles for people.It doesn't require people to be at high position for doing some good but a little faith in the almighty and yourself.
Reb Albert asked Mitch "Will he do his eulogy ?" The novel revolves about the two Reb i.e Albert and Henry. Who are the messengers of faith and are an exemplar of what faith can do in critical circumstances.
This eulogy not only introduced faith to Mitch but also made him aware of relationship that was advancing between the two of them which existed 8 long years.Mitch contemplates whether the purpose of Albert's eulogy was to make him aware of the higher purposes of life. Henry also a Reb, having an addiction to drugs and after passing through various hapless and destitute phases was moved by the trust of the old couple whom he looted. They both realized they are somebody because God loves them can help other people in need,struggling to become balanced.
At last, it is a good book making us believe to have faith in God. 
When all is lost nothing is lost.

A Winner Stands Alone by Paul Coelho

Completed A Winner Stands Alone by Paul Coelho today. Initially by its preface it seemed that it will be an inspiring story like the ones we are used to : a man battling with difficulties and making efforts to win despite of desolate circumstances. That's why A winner Stands Alone.

Igor made himself reached to the apex of life by possessing all of the things money could buy, his marriage with Ewa was an auspicious event that happened in his life. But chasing the "love of his life" i.e his work, unfortunately he forgot the importance of Ewa which he tried to gain in the Film Festival of Cannes by destroying the worlds of others. His unexpected ultimate realization astounded me i.e he no longer wanted her.
All around it was a novel describing the background and the dreams with which people came to Cannes for fulfilling their ambitions.

Is it John Mason's Miracle?

From a few months ago from now ,I  had bought  John Mason's You are Born an Original Don't Die a Copy from Crosswords. Reading it in one go was my desire but i was never able to accomplish it .Every turn I tried to accomplish it I failed. In middle of the night I found myself disaarayed and picked up John Mason's book and dived into the deep chasm of unexplored possibilities and potence that God has equipped ordinary individuals like us to accomplish small miraculous(ordinary) tasks with a little extra to make them extraordinary. "Little Acts give deep satisfaction compared to loads of blissful thinking."

Next in the queue

Paul Coelho books are quite fascinating which forces one to introspect one's own beliefs and past choices like in Eleven Minutes which just made me dizzy how the story ran with time.Now my next is The Winner Stands Alone by Paul Coelho and Have a little faith by Mitch Alboom.
Spending 4 hrs in reading just makes me gay and jubilient by thinking that in 1 go how much story and how much I have covered. Always Keep Moving Forward

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Picking Divergent from an eclectic of books to be read was a good choice. Divergent by Veronica Roth is all about choice, the choice that Beatrice,a stiff, take now holds an incredible power to change her future. But she can only make choices among dauntless and abnegation to steer her life, jaded by the norms and orthodox beliefs of abnegation she chooses dauntless. That made all the difference. Tris is finally able to become the top ranker among all dauntless-initiation-transfers and born, despite of that she is curious about her unique divergent trait,running through a maze of all the answers Four find this novice named tris fascinating.With all her training and beatitude of her mother she is able to save abnegation and dauntless faction members from the chaos made by erudite.

Breaking our own delusions

I never would have thought about understanding the subtle nuances of how this world works or should i say there exists  more than 1 approach to find what you love.It's all have been possible by reading novels.earlier I used to manage hard copy of them, but now budget seems to be tight and Epub is the latest. 
Go with the wind is my motto to read as much as possible. Taking an inspiration from Julia and Julie, I m going to read 20 novels in 5 months time span.
1 week atleast 1 novel or sometimes 2-3 in a week depending on the hunger, is my plan.

It's never too late to start what you always have dreamt of doing
