I've always been skeptical of so called self-help books, but when I friend tossed this book my way, I said "what the hay" and started reading. I was soon drawn in by this book's enthusiasm for life. You can't help reflecting on your own world when reading this. I found his views on what "religion" should or could be to people particularly interesting - meaning that your "something to believe in" is a very personal thing, and instead of telling you what to do or what to believe, Brian manages to give you a nudge in the right direction, letting you keep your choices personal, giving the reader a chance to customize the book to their own life experiences. In doing so, Brian stands apart from the sea of self-help mumbo jumbo, and helps you get down to what you can do here and now to reach your goals and be happy with your chosen path.
This is a book I wish I would have read a long time ago

As I read Something To Believe In, I found myself pausing between chapters to reflect on my life and where it is now. Brian's moving personal story combined with historical quotes and examples made me think in ways I had never considered and arive at conclusions I never thought possible. Any book that can cause such intense positive thought is well worth anybody's time to read. I will not attempt here to summarize exactly what is contained between the pages of this book - I can only say you will not soon forget it. Thank you, Brian Brawdy.
It makes you see the good in yourself & in others!

Something to Believe In is an amazing book. After reading this book, I realized that experiences present themselves for a reason. For every tough experience there is a positive lesson learned. Everything that we are searching for is inside of us. We all have what it takes to make it work! It is nice to know that we do not have to turn to others for strength and approval. It is so simple once you start listening to yourself and not others.
