When family or friends come to me with a challenge, I usually send them away with a list of books that might be helpful. It has gotten to the point that my boys will laugh, and before I even get the words out, say, “Let me guess. You have a book that I should read?” With the people I mentor and my students, I usually assign the books so that we can talk about them together and apply the lessons directly to their life and challenges. This article is the first in a series where I share books that I have read or know of that can help you in some way! Enjoy!
