Dear sir, Reading has always been one of my hubbies, I could spend days indoors reading different books. I have been privileged to read lots of books, but one by James Hardley Chase titled "Make the dead walk" really left a mark on my perception of life. The book tells the story of a multi-millionaire who owns everything he wanted that money could afford. so was a happy and comfortable man. He had one brother whom he loved so much, unfortunately, he feel sick and died. The death of his sibling devastated him so much that he decided he had to resurrect him. He,
therefore
,placed a heavy financial reward on anyone who could bring his brother back to life. Lots of magicians and sorcerers tried but none succeeded. Money is essential and we tend to search for it with all our might, believing it answereth all things and gives us happiness. But I now understand that there is a limit to what it can do and that happiness comes from living in peace with what we can not change. Others need to read
this
book as It will help in shaping their view about money, uncertainties, peace, and happiness and giving them a balanced view of life. Yours faithfully Elisha Emmanuel
