Have you ever realized that once a book becomes part of Oprah's Book of the Month Club, that book becomes an instant success? You'll see people pick up that book and read it everywhere, from check out lanes to express lanes on the copy, even if that book was something they would never otherwise consider. But usually at best, Oprah's books offer self-help, not God help. So why not start a Book of the Month club of your own, based on the books of the Bible? It's a great way to get your friends, family and co-workers to read a book that they would never otherwise consider, that book being one of the books of the Bible. These books offer the kind of advice you won't see on a daytime talk show, but promises that are timeless as well as encouraging. Here's some suggested books to offer up to your friends and coworkers: A book for the Workaholic: Ecclesiastes.
