A to Z Challenge H is for Hope for Each Day and Hitchhikers guide to the Soul

Two more books for you to look at and explore.

We start wirh a Devotional by Billy Graham that is titled Hope for Each Day.

Like "God's Wisdom for Today" this is a daily book filled with scripture and then a personal devotional penned by Reverend Graham. 

I know, some of you must be wondering why I have so many devotionals in my library of inspirational books?  Well the answer is, that each of these books has a slightly different way of inspiring one to be filled with God's presence and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Next book is "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Soul"  This is by Robert Clancy and not Douglas Adams.  (Douglas Adams was an English author who wrote the science fiction series "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy")

Clancy's book explores how each of us impact others lives, that without being conscious of it how we end up helping others.  Each chapter gives an illustration of this.

At the very beginning of the book in the first chapter Life ain't so bad Clancy states a very amazing thing, something we never think about.
He asks people the worst thing that could happen to them, then he says
"I know the one thing that would impact you most... You losing  your ability to lp another person...but this will never happen."

Throughtout Clancy uses this statement to set up and illustrate how we all impact others lives, sometimes without even knowing we are doing so  at the time,

This is a fast read and that you will read more than once,
