Two books I read that changed my life forever

The Holy Bible and The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz are 2 books worth having close at all times. Some may feel these 2 books contradict each other but they actually complement each other. With all the diatribe about the Toltec Indians of Mexico and their mystical powers - on closer examination of Ruiz's book you realize that biblical principles are being re-enforced. Ruiz narrows his key to happiness to four simple rules,

1. Being Impeccable with your Word

2. Taking Nothing Personally

3. Don't Make Assumptions

4. Always doing your Best

These four principles or keys to happiness may also be found in the Bible. The Bible, I believe, is terribly under utilized. The teachings of the Bible hold so much relevant truths and teachings for our current times. If we would only spend the time to search the scriptures we would not be as lost as we are. There is nothing new under the sun that has not been experienced by someone in the Bible. There is no situation that we face now, no matter the highly technological age in which we live, that we cannot find a solution for in the Bible. God's word was relevant then and it is even relevant now. "God's word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path"
