In reply to robin. Thank you so much! This means a lot, as I find that my own growth through my own eyes isn't always visible to me... I'm so grateful for the opportunities that I've been given to present myself in this way <3

I think all books can develop one’s spiritual side— provided the reader approaches the book with an open mind and reads through this lens :). A well integrated Spirit matures and deepens with every read… and with every experience. In fact, I see this reflected more and more in your writing, Ariela. A maturing Spiritual side. Specifically per this review, I absolutely love how constructively critical and well thought-out your writing is becoming. This demonstrates your respect for both the book’s author and your followers. It also demonstrates a deepening self respect: one born of experience, rather than a sense of self entitlement. Many young people lean towards the latter, and quite simply because they’re young. Proud of how much you’re growing.

In reply to C.A. Post.

Oh yes, thank you! We have The Screwtape Letter and Mere Christianity in the house! They both belong to my mom, but I’m sure she’ll let me read them. Speaking of C.S. Lewis I finished The Horse and His Boy (from Narnia) the other day! Thanks for the recommendations!

I really enjoy reading your book synopses. However, I hope you are reading some books for your own spiritual development as well. May I recommend a couple of "starter" books of C.S. Lewis'? "The Screwtape Letters," "The Great Divorce" and "Mere Christianity" are some of his best. &, c.a.
