My reading

Last week was a productive and busy week
This week is a productive and busy week also
Timetable is pack
and i no longer feel like the first time i reach here : do not know what to do..haha
well, God is good. =D

Finally, i got the chance to write post
this post is just simply want to share what some good books that i read

I finally finished Viktor E.Frankl's book " Man's Search For Meaning" three weeks ago, before the intercession start.. this book took me a semester to finish
Is not hard to read, but in fact it is a very inspiring book
Just that i didn't dedicate my time to finish it. so it took me one semester...

If you are a psychology major student, you SHOULD read this book
If you are not a psychology major student, you SHOULD read this book also
because the principal that mention in the book, is what we should carry in our daily life..
It is a classic book..
In this book, he wrote about his experience in the Nazi's concentration camp, and why it is important to have a purpose and meaning in your life..
In his book he quoted from Nietzsche :
"That which does not kill me, makes me stronger"
He also mention about the important of suffering
and he has different view suffering
It is a book that you should read in your life..
no matter how old you are, you should at least read this book once in your entire life

The other book that i like is "Tuesday with Morrie" by Mitch Albom

I love to read his book...
I bought his entire series of books
Tuesday with Morrie
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
For one more day
Have a Little Faith( latest)
I just finished Tuesday with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven
currently i m reading Having a Little Faith ( my target is finish it before summer school start =D)
All his book is inspiring and make you ponder
Tuesday with Morrie is a light reading book yet it make you reflect your life 
You may not agree with what he said, but he make you think..
and i like the way he present in Tuesday with Morrie and Have a Little Faith
Because what he wrote is a true story and after you read one chapter, he will present his childhood experience or the person's life...
It is interesting to read his book

would like to share one of my favorite part in the book :
his teacher Morrie asked his student to do an so called group exercise. They have to stand and facing away from their classmates and fall back, relying student to catch them. One of the girl in the class, close her while she fall back...every student were shocked by her reaction, coz she is going to fall onto the ground if her partner does not catch her.. and Morrie said about this incident: you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them , too-even wen you're in the dark. even when you 're falling"

Isn't it nice when you know that you have somebody to trust when you are in the dark or falling? you trust him that he will catch you, you trust him that he will find you, you trust him that he is with you...
Personally, from the statement that Morrie make, the first person that i can think of is Jesus
He is the only One in this world that you can trust when you are in the dark, when you are falling
Man can fail you, but Jesus don't
Jesus is the only One that will never abandon nor leave you
Jesus is the only One in this earth that you can  really trust, no matter what...
Hebrew13 : 5-"...For God has said," I will never leave you ; I will never abandon you."
This is a bold statement that He made and He will never violate what He has promise
He is a faithful God.

If you do not read or don't have the time to read
I would like to challenge you to read this two books
you will see how this two books change your life or your view about life 
Those two books are books that you MUST read.


I can't wait to finish "Have a Little Faith", 
i read it every night before i go to bed
Hope to finish before school start. =D

p/s : going to ALL NATION Conference, i'm excited about that. =D ya huh!!!
