why is everyone saying religious books? i dont think reading something about a god or gods or someone elses religion will help me... spiritual is different but.... what about things to do besides books? or self-help? or motivational books?

Right now I am 20 and I would say that I had a really rough time during my early teens. I was basically going on a direction that pushed me deeper and deeper into the whole, i guess what im trying to say is that we all get lost sometimes and if we just wait around for answers or help we don't get far. My best advice would be to find what you love in your heart and follow it. If you wait around for answers then they will never come, you have to go and try to find them. life is like a long journey that will take you thought things that you never anticipated, you will never find answers to what lies ahead. I really don't think that there is any book out there that can tell you who you are and what you should do, because the person who wrote the book might be lost himself.

You're right - religious books are fine but there are other options. Reading is good - Ted Dekker is a writer I especially like - he has a web page too that you could check out. Physical activity is always good - working out, setting goals for yourself, acheiving those goals - that will bring you up. See if you can do some volunteer work. Sometimes seeing how other people struggle can help you realize how blessed you really are. Sometimes seeing how happy the people that you think should be struggling are, can be a real eye opener. And, remember it's never as bad as it seems. norgus9@yahoo.com if need some encouragement.

Do you know the Book of books? Yes, because it is divinely inspired book---Bible. It is a guide to Heaven, a handbook for living. It is a Book of Jesus who died to save us from condemnation, and qualifying us to Heaven. Life is uncertain; people die at all ages. Heaven is wonderful beyond descriptions, and forever without end. If you want to read a testimony about Heaven, email me: TMHO@EARTHLINK.NET. Best wishes for happiness and Heaven!

Just about any book by Depak Chopra will give you insight. I suggest you start there.
