Focus on Books: Books to Help You Write Your Life Story #focusonbooks, #writingcraft

 

FOCUS ON BOOKS--Join us every third Wednesday of the Month

Hello and welcome to FOCUS on BOOKS, the latest series sparked by my love of reading, we will dive into the fascinating, familiar, and new worlds created by authors. Every third Wednesday, join us for a celebration of storytelling—spotlighting books, conversing with guest authors, and sharing my personal reading recommendations.  Giveaways, surprises, and games will add to the fun.

While the purpose of the series is to offer an opportunity for author friends to shout about their books, I am delighted to meet new-to-me authors and discover their books. The best part is introducing writers and sharing their stories with you!

I am choosing today's post to share my personal reading recommendations that help you record your life story for your family. I have been offering presentations on writing life stories and workshops for folks who want to preserve their stories for their families. I feel strongly about the value of sitting down and writing or making a video of your life experiences.

Not only does it offer you some eye-opening moments about past events as you look back through the lens of time, but your stories will become a beloved keepsake for your present generation and future generations.

Thanksgiving is the time when friends and family gather around the table to give thanks for their blessings, enjoy a meal together, and share those stories that have been passed down through the family. I bet the kids will put down their phones to stay and listen to the shenanigans about their dad or grandpa!! Oh, yes!!

What do you think? Please leave your thoughts below.

This list of books for writing life stories is also in my books on writing life stories. Your Words, Your Life Story and Your Life with Jesus.
