BOOKS YOU MUST READ!

SECRETS OF SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS
Have you ever wondered why, after apparently satisfactory preparation for and performance at an examination, you still come out with poor or low grades? Do you find it difficult to settle down for serious study? Do you easily forget what you read? Do you belong to either the group of students who have a problem with when, where, and how to read for utmost understanding, or the other group that is confused about what to do during lecture periods in other to enhance concentration and aid memory? Do you find it hard to cope with the atmosphere of the examination hall? Do you find it difficult even to account for your incessant failure? Then you need not go far. This book is the answer to every troubling question you have ever asked about your academics.

I am not my boobs (book cover)
I Am Not My Boobs by Abiola


Why on earth would I write a book with such an obvious title? I say why not? The message of self-respect and self-esteem for today’s woman seems to be getting lost in transmission with all the ‘noise’ in our society. Consider this book a banner, keeping the message ever before you.

In this book, learn how to: Be financially secure and independent; Fulfil your God ordained destiny; Protect your sexual integrity; Attract the right woman into your life; Recognise the woman who loves you genuinely; Succeed in your academic pursuits and career; Avoid the traps of beauty, money and sex; Become the man God intended you to be; and lots more!


The Gift of Work by Praise George

The Gift of Work cover
Aliya stirred. The morning sun slipped in through the window blinds and caressed her face. She opened her eyes, rolled over and muttered a prayer. The smell of flowers wafted into the room. She pressed a button and the voice of Asha serenaded the day. ‘Ojumo ti mo…’ she sang along in the shower.
She had a good reason to sing. She had a great job, did work she loved and was adequately rewarded for it. She slipped on her black pumps, adjusted her skirt in the mirror, applied some lipstick, smiled at her reflection, put some essentials in her bag, picked up her phone and keys and headed for the door. In her haste she knocked over a picture. ‘Sorry darling,’ she picked it up, kissed the smiling
face of her fiancĂ© and placed it gently on the dressing table. ‘Let’s do this!’ she said with passion and shut the door behind her.

Avoiding Mr. Wrong by Abiola George

Here’s a fact: most people show us who they are within the first few days we know them, through what they say and do. However, women tend to delete what they can see/feel in favour of what they want to see/feel. This often leads to avoidable heartache.
Avoiding Mr. Wrong looks at some of the guys women should avoid at all cost, and theres also a section on becoming Ms Right because, believe it or not, we attract who we are on the inside.

 PRINCIPLES AND POWER OF VISION

 Perhaps you have a vague sense of personal purpose and have secretly thought, "I was born to do something significant in life" -- if you could just define it. Or, you may have all kinds of ideas of what you would like to do in life, but you rarely achieve them. In either case, you end up drained rather than completed, frustrated rather than fulfilled. You feel trapped, underemployed, and underutilized. You were not meant for a mundane or mediocre life. You do not exist just to earn a paycheck. The only thing that will satisfy you is what you were born to do. You were meant to accomplish something that no one else in the world can do. Here is a book of hope and challenge that you will read and re-read, one that is destined to become a classic, treasured by future generations. In The Principles and Power of Vision, Dr. Myles Munroe will inspire, motivate, and encourage you to start living the life you were created for as he reveals secrets to fulfillment that will greatly enrich your life.
