The Writings and Experiences of Lela Jefferson Fagan
Reading is one of my greatest passions. I inherited a love for it from both my parents and my paternal grandmother. In this section, you will find my personal book reviews of titles that fall in the categories of Inspirational (Christian Faith Based), Spirituality, Self-Help and Improvement, Business, Technology, Writing, Poetry, Sports, Relationships, History, Cooking, Home Décor and so much more!
I posted the other day I’ve stockpiled books like a squirrel over the last year. Here is the list of books I am reading over the Christmas holiday break while I am off from work. I believe it’s important that I use this time to recharge and prepare for the new year and these titles…
This week I started something new. After realizing I had fallen a bit behind on my book reading schedule; I decided to designate the 1-2 hours before sundown to read outside on our back porch. I have found it is a fantastic way to end the day. Not only is it relaxing, but also it…
| As I shared at the end of last year here on the blog, there were 3 books I knew I needed to read at the time [please see “My 2013 Year-end Book Reading Schedule”]. I had hoped to finish them all before this New Year; however, that didn’t happen. I was able to finish one and make some decent progress in another before the 31st… |
With less than 3 weeks left before we close out 2013, I realize that I have about 5 books that I would like to finish reading before the New Year. There are three I absolutely want to finish.

Between you and me, I am honestly not that skilled when it comes to reading any of my faith based devotionals every day. For the last few years, I have purchased an annual devotional book by Joyce Meyer. This year’s book is “Trusting God Day by Day: 365 Daily Devotions” My practice is if I…
A number of years ago, when I first began working in full time ministry I read a book by Dr. John C. Maxwell called “The Winning Attitude”. I was led to read the book because to be quite honest my attitude sucked. Many would be amazed to hear that it is actually hard for me…
“Right Heart. Right Attitude.”; by Joyce Meyer is the book I am currently reading or should I say is reading me. I was introduced to the book after watching a series of episodes on the subject of “Attitudes” on Joyce Meyer’s “Enjoying Everyday Life” broadcast. Auntie Joyce’s (what I affectionately call her) program is…
