At a young age, I enjoyed reading books about Bible stories, devotionals, literature, inspirational, facts, love and relationships, health, worship, even Christian novels and the Relentless book, the Bible. It has been my lifestyle since then.
Who influenced me? Because I grew up in a Christian school, we were required to read literature books regularly as part of our PACE requirements. Though we were required to do so, I enjoyed it. My mother who is also a book reader, always bought expensive books for us like Bible stories and Christian health books. The story about Queen Esther was my favorite and even Prophet Elijah! Also, my Ninang Gigi, the manager of Phil. Christian Book Store - Lucena, contantly gives me Spirit-filled books as birthday gift or Christmas gift since I was young and until now.

My zeal in feeding my soul with good books grew more when I became part of Young Ezra Society, a group of young writers mentored by Ptr. Ronald Molmisa, the author of Lovestruck books. He really encouraged us to read and read books for it will help us to be good writers for the next generation someday.
Well, that was how my reading lifestyle began. I was taught to invest in books that will help me strengthen my faith in God and will give me wisdom as I live this life. And it did and still will. God even used a cool book, (Lovestruck [white]: Lab mo ba siya, Sure ka ba?) to help me move on from a teenage heartache! And for those who are waiting for God's best, promise, it's really a big help. He even used books to cultivate my leadership and public speaking skills for the young generation. Who would've thought that I would be a youth leader of hundreds of young people in our church and would be a public speaker of different colleges and schools in Quezon?
So what could I say to the young ones? Invest in good books too! And when I say good books, it must be based on God's Word written by Spirit-filled men and women. You'll never know what's gonna happen if you won't try. And by reading this blog, I know God is speaking to your heart to start gaining wisdom. Feed your soul and spirit! You need wisdom that comes from God! It will shape you to be that successful one God intended you to be!
So here are my books that I've currently read, still reading and will be reading soon. (Pahapyaw pa lang ito sa aking book world) Just scroll down =)
I bought this book just this July 2018 at PCBS - Lucena. It already made an impact on how I work as a Business Counselor in my workplace and Youth Leader. It gives motivation to ACT on it! |
This has been one of my long time desire to read, but God surprised me! I just received this lovely book this August 2018 from a man after God's own heart. Now in the 1st Chapter! |
Mahhhhh novel book given by my younger sister Bernice from New Zealand. Travel back in time as you read this book during Queen Esther's life. Inspired me to be the woman God wants me to be. |
