Falling To Heaven: By James L. Ferrell


If I were to make a list of books I've read that have helped to re-shape my thinking, this book would be on that list. So, I am recommending it to you. (Whoever "you" is...could be no one if no one reads this!) :)

A favorite part? ..."Two practices describe what might be considered the secret of the meek....This is the magic combination: Focus on our own sins and upon others' virtues. Do this, and our teaching, our thinking, our befriending, and our parenting will all be transformed for the better." 

I love that part because I know from experience that it is true. I feel so much more contentment in my life, (no matter what else is going on) when I focus on by own salvation and look for the good in the people around me.

I'm going to have to read that...it sounds uplifting. I know that when I get focused on others' faults is when I get the most frustrated. Thanks for sharing!!
