Good book for Everyone

This is a great book to read at the start of everyday. It can be read by anyone of any heritage or ethnic background, it applies to anyone and everyone. Its one of those books that "makes you go hmmmm."

DAILY MEDITATIONS

BLACK PEARLS is one year's worth of daily meditations. The collection touches almost all motivational subjects. Reading it is a positive way to start the day. It's very inspirational. Written for African Americans, but good for anybody.

Right On Time

This black pearl appreciates Eric's ability to caputure the true essence of black love. The selection of poems was superb. I laughed, I cried but most of all I reflected, on what love meant to me. With Valentine's Day around the corner, this book was right on time. Thank you Eric...

What a way to start the day

Black Pearls has proven to brighten my day when I read it first thing in the morning. Sometimes it's the quotations, other times, it's the tasks that are laid out, or even the commentary that helps me through the day. It's something that I can read over and over again..
