RECOMMENDATION | The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield

Hello!

Welcome to another one of the recommendation posts. Today, I'm going to talk about a book that was given to me by one of the most interesting ladies I've ever met and that absolutely changed the way I see lots of things now. The book is called The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield.

This book is not only full of things such as running from the government that wants the main characters, but it's also one of the best books containing spirituality I've ever read.

It talks about insights that were mentioned in an ancient Peruvian manuscript, and secrets that are supposed to be changing the world. This books talks about everything from noticing the coincidences happening in your life to controlling dramas we had learned as children to get energy.

I absolutely love this book. I love everything about energies and auras and spiritual (not religious!) things. I definitely think there are people who will say it's rubbish, but this book meant a lot to me when I read it, so I'm passing it on.

Do you know this book? Have you read it? What do you think about it? And do you know any other books that are like this one? Let me know!

RECOMMENDATION | Cry Myself to Sleep by Joe Peters

Hello and welcome to the very first recommendation post on this blog!

Today I'm going to talk about a book that I loved and that absolutely broke my heart even though I don't usually like/read non-fiction stories. The book is called Cry Myself to Sleep by Joe Peters. From what I understand it's a sequel to a book called Cry Silent Tears, but, speking from experience, I don't think you need to read the first book if you intend on reading this one.

First, I have to say, I do not recommend this book to anybody who's triggered by violence, rape, abuse and so on. This book is full of it.

But I definitely do recommend reading this book. It tells the story about Joe who was first beaten by his mother at the age of five, and then was raped by his mother's boyfriend. His mother sold him to a paedophile ring when he was only nine. At sixteen, he had found the courage to escape and headed for Charing Cross. With no friends, no money and no family, he was forced to live on the streets of London. His life became full of crime and self-destruction, until he found a woman who set him free from his inner demons by loving him.

This is, in my opinion, a very powerful story of survival and fighting the incredibly awful things life can throw at you. I'm not going to lie here, I cried like a baby while reading the book. I couldn't believe so many things could happen to one little, innocent boy. I couldn't believe it was a non-fiction story.

So yes, if you want to read a true story about an abused child who became an amazing author and found the strength to get his life together, go and read this book.

Do you know this book? Have you read it? What do you think about it? Let me know in the comments!
