Finished 2018 Getting "Tied Up In Tinsel," Starting 2019 With "5 Lessons"

After more than a decade of trying, I finally managed to finish Ngaio Marsh's Christmas murder mystery, Tied Up In Tinsel.  It wasn't bad.  Some of the language was a bit classic.  I learned a few new words; penury and facezie are the two that I really remember.  The novel starts off with Hilary Bill-Tasman, while sitting for a portrait, telling painter Troy Alleyn about his staff and their criminal histories.  Eventually, one of his staff members disappears and everyone else on his staff is a suspect. Enter Troy's husband, Detective Roderick Alleyn. And the rest is a mystery!  After reading this holiday whodunit, I think I've found a new author to check out.  I will admit that the murder victim is not who I thought it would be, but that's all I will say for fear of spoiling the story!  To start off 2019, I think I'll read a book by one of my favorite authors (Richard Paul Evans).  "The 5 Lessons A Millionaire Taught Me About Life & Wealth."  Easy to understand and simple to apply, "The Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me About Life & Wealth"  is one of the most powerful books ever written about money. This book will change your life.

When Richard Paul Evans was twelve, his father, a building contractor, shattered both his legs. With no insurance, no income, and eight children, the family was destitute. At that difficult time young Evans was introduced to a kind multimillionaire who taught him the five secrets of wealth. Today, Evans credits those lessons not just with bringing him wealth and success but with bringing him freedom and opportunity in a world where financial slavery is ubiquitous.

In his signature motivational voice, Evans interweaves those influential lessons with personal stories from everyday people. He explains that money should not be the preoccupation of our lives. Rather, if we follow the five principles, we will be free to focus on God, family, and relationships -- the true nourishments of life.

Wise and compelling, "The Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me About Life and Wealth"  can be read in a single sitting and will leave you with a new view of what it means to be rich -- and convinced that you, too, can build wealth.   I have already discovered some financial secrets and intend to start following them.  Some of them I was already following before I started this book, and will continue to do so.  This book is not a work of fiction, and it iwill change your life!....
