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.
