A Few Books

As a chick with a degree in English Literature, it's probably no surprise that I love reading!!  Since I recently began subbing again, I've had a lot of time to read.  I know some of you may be taking some time off or relaxing on a beach or at the pool sometimes soon, with summer on its way, so I wanted to share some reads I recently finished or want to read that you might enjoy in your down time!

Church Folk by Andrea Bowen

 

I recently discovered this author (apparently I'm a little late) while reading the Essence book list for the March issue, and I just love her books!  I don't want to give you any details, but lets just say this book explores how those in the church aren't always the most Godly!  It has a juicy plot that keeps you reading, but has strong spiritual and scriptural grounds.

Holy Ghost Corner by Andrea Bowen

Another book by Andrea Bowen, Holy Ghost Corner is great!  The main character owns a boutique (which is what first caught my attention) that sells church hats, suits, and bible covers, plus some holy negligee, lol  (the married women of the church need a little lingerie for their husbands).  It is a story of salvation, love, and drama (all the kind of stuff we girlies love)!  I really like her books because, they include scriptures that help you understand things in your own life (especially the scriptures about husbands and wives in this book).

Do You and Fabulosity by Russell and Kimora Simmons 

 

Though I could do without the cussing, these are very good books about being the only thing you can be, yourself!  Do you, give steps that can help you become a success in any business, but more importantly succeed in life.  I really like how Russell Simmonsencompasses yoga and meditation as means of finding inner peace which aids in succeeding through life (I think yoga is wonderful way and time to talk to God).  Fabulosity, is similar to Do You, just with lots more glam!  Kimora gives great ideas on how to brand yourself, give yourself a makeover, and love your inner goddess.  These are two great reads that can help get you going in the path you desire to follow (as long as its in God's will of course)  :-)
