What was the first book that made an impression on you?

Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch. It came at a time in my life when I needed God simplified . I t portrays God as a friend and not an angry, old, bearded man who just wants to punish us for our shortcomings. On the contrary, I learnt He is merciful and just.

Fred Stoeker and Stephen Arterburn, the brains behind the Every Man's Battle series.

They deal with issues that affect men in the area of sexuality, marriage and fidelity.

There is the lesson from one of Ray McCauley's books - my character must keep me where my gift takes me.

If you were stuck on an island for the rest of your life, which one book would you take with you?
