BOOKS THAT HEAL

The proverb goes like:

“If there is light in our souls,

There will be beauty within the person.

If there is beauty within the person,

There will be harmony in the house.

If there is harmony in the house,

There will be order in the nation.

If there is order in the nation,

there will be peace in the world.”

Often, I meet readers who ask me about my beloved books, who want to learn more than the previous reading or conversation have offered for us.

For this week’s post I am not going to write the usual text, but I will try to answer this forementioned request. Thus, here you are a list of books of different genres: short stories, essays, novels… you can find a bit of everything here. I have sorted them out by author and title, as they may have diverse publishers around the world. I leave it for you to check as often as you please. I will post more compilations. There is so much good to be shared!

Perhaps one of the best ways to create light in our souls is a good book. Here is the first list.
