I always give a reasoning of why I chose this book and this book deals specifically with life and thats my struggle now, is trying to deal with life especially as I get older and see how life is passing me by and I can't control it but thats my issue, you can't control time but you can control what you make of your time. My pastor told me what a good read it was and I told him I especially needed a book so I could get my blogs done. : ). Not that I don't have the enjoyment of flipping open a book on my own but getting a good grade helps.(off topic) But what stood out to me was the title. " Living a Life that Matters". I questioned the title even before I had read a single sentence from the book because I thought well, who's life doesn't matter, I mean we all matter in some way shape or form, but in the very first chapter, which is usually what I read to determine if I like a book, it showed me lots of people feel their life doesn't matter and that in many ways we all feel insignificant at some point and that was the hook. Something that could relate to me. If it relates to me, or a book can give me advice and answers, I WILL read it. As I get older I am also growing much deeper in my faith and this book definitely goes into detail about that because as I understand my faith, the more questions I have about it. Many of his remarks and claims are open to interpretation but the book definitely leads you in the right direction of finding the answers to common unanswered questions about your "life" whether your religious or non- religious .
