25 Non-Fiction Books that Changed My Life

I’m always amazed at how the right book at the right time seems to appear with just the right light to illuminate my next steps. From the time I was 14 trying to read The Road Less Traveled, I’ve been hooked on non-fiction books that provide a roadmap for whatever is facing me at the time. Below are 25 life-changers that I’ll be forever grateful for. I didn’t include the Bible, but it’s certainly at the top of the list. It was tough to stop at 25, so maybe there is a part 2 in the future.
