Title: Nourishing Your Mind, One Book at a Time - August

Total time: 23:00

Release date: August 28th, 2021

Summary:

Each month Danielle is going to recommend a book for you and a book for your kids and explain how the books can enhance your life. This month Danielle focuses on books that discuss growth - both spiritually and personally. 

You’ll hear:

The power of reading to nourish your mind

How finding stories that connect to you on a personal level can move  you to growth in no other way

How reading can open roads to difficult conversations with your children

Both books are effective when readers are ready to examine themselves to grow

Both books aren’t just step-by-step self-help books, but books with stories and interesting connections with adults and kids alike

These books don’t have a specific  male/female audience so you can share this book with your husbands and partners and your sons and daughters.

Book 1: The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron & Suzanne Stabile

Quotes about the Enneagram and self discovery within the realm of God:

“Once you know the dark side of your personality, simply give God consent to do for you what you’ve never been able to do for yourself, namely, bring meaningful and lasting change to your life.”

“The Enneagram doesn't put you in a box. It shows you the box you're already in and how to get out of it.”

“How, as John Calvin put it, “without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.”

“The good news is we have a God who would know our scrawny butt anywhere. He remembers who we are, the person he knit together in our mother’s womb, and he wants to help restore us to our authentic selves.”

Book 2: The Growth Mindset Ninja by Mary Nhin

“He didn’t understand that learning was the fun part.”

“I didn’t know I could. I just tried.”
