Qstn for the group - THE book that has inspired you the MOST

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Here is a question for the group. It was prompted by Ardis' and

Sankar's post on how they feel so inspired by "The Gospel of Sri

Ramakrishna "

 

Can you share the ONE book that has inspired you the most in

changing your outlook on life ? I request only ONE because then we

REALLY have to sift through to see which was the book that really

really REALLY inspired us the MOST.

 

It would also be great if you could either quote from the book or

explain what it is about the book that inspired you.

 

Here is mine. My inspirational book of all time , the book that

caused a definite change to my outlook on my behaviour towards

people is "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. I felt (and still

feel) so moved by the character of Atticus Finch - the epitome of

decency and a true Christian attitude - to love his neighbor as

himself. To me that embodies the best spiritual goal as defined by

Swamiji.

 

Here is hoping to hear from you.
