Some of the most beautiful and moving things in this world are words. There are authors who have either experienced circumstances that they then relay to us and move us, or who have seen others experience such things. These types of ebooks can have a tremendously meaningful impact on our lives, so much so that some ebooks in this category can even change the course of our life and those around us. Imagine getting all of that value for free or for a discount. That's what eBookHounds brings you.
Definition of the "Religious and Inspirational Genre": Ebooks in the Religious and Inspirational genre are meant to capture real stories of people who have seen true, seemingly insurmountable struggle and persevered through that. The ebooks do not have to be religious to be inspirational, but there oftentimes is included an aspect of spirituality that helped the main character overcome his or her challenge. And, the challenge is oftentimes tied to change. When a reader sees that the main character of one of these ebooks can change, or is forced to change due to circumstances, that can spill over into the reader's own life.
Some examples of bestselling ebooks in the Religious and Inspirational Genre are Jack Canfield et al (Chicken Soup for the Soul), Yann Martel (Life of Pi), Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist), and Viktor Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning).
You know there's more to life than what you're experiencing now.
But how do you go deeper?
Life today moves faster than it ever has before, and perhaps you're feeling the toll. You work all day, raise your children, slip in activities with your family and friends, and maybe take a few moments for yourself. But despite having a full life, you don't feel fulfilled.
Robert Commodari has been there. A husband, father of three, and a real estate professional, he lived frantically, moving through his days at ninety miles an hour and yet never feeling like he was getting anywhere. Desperate for change, Rob slowed down to reflect on the kind of man he wanted to be, and he had an epiphany: If he sought more meaning in his life, he had to start by focusing on what his experiences, big and small, meant in the greater scope of his existence rather than just rushing through each day blindly.
This was his first step on the path of awareness.
Awareness is not something that comes naturally. It takes work and mindfulness. In Better Than You Think, Rob uses his own experiences and stories to explain how a daily awareness practice will help you:
As you develop your own awareness with Rob as your guide, you will be inspired. Every day will bring new revelations about who you are and an understanding about who you are becoming. You will find peace with yourself and others, reducing the conflict and stress in your life. You will feel a deeper connection to God and your personal desires and passions, allowing you to confidently share your wisdom with friends and family.
When you are aware of your experiences and their meaning, you will find the satisfaction and joy you seek. Begin your journey to a more fulfilled life today.
We have become so dogmatic in our own beliefs that when they don’t come to fruition or we find them to be a hoax, our journey can come crashing down with doubt, fear, and uncertainty. Many individuals think they know why they are doing what they do, where they will end up, or who they wish to be in 3 to 7 years until a catastrophic event called life occurs.
We dream to live adventurously but the fear of change confines us to only existing, which is to survive in the fog of society thus creating a disoriented/invisible sensation. The unknown causes our thoughts to imprison us as we ponder if we will ever be content or if we will forever be in debt paying bills. We work hard to be accepted instead of acknowledged. We wonder about our next occupation or what comes after retirement. We worry about things we can’t control then suffer from anxiety. Our breath is limited by our determination and imagination yet those things we can take hold of.
We exclaim at times to be lost, but to be lost is to know where X marks the spot yet unclear on how to get there. So the question is:
This book is meant to help you not only choose your path, but how to choose it wisely and magnanimously.

Are you frustrated with trying to live the Christian life?
Do your struggles with sin discourage you?
Have you been taught you can't ever win the battle . . . that as long as you are living, you will fall short?
Jesus told people to sin no more. Rather than tell them the struggle with sin and Satan would be difficult, He said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." Jesus doesn't ask us to do the impossible.
Ken Gould rejected distorted teachings about God and was an atheist for twenty years, until God revealed His existence to him. Afterward, he recognized Christianity wasn't something to be taken lightly. His highest priority became to know God and understand His counsel.
Gould says, "It is possible to live a godly life in victory. What we believe about God affects our ability to live a victorious life."
In this guidebook on living in God's victory, learn:
How to cooperate with God to attain the victory He has for you.
How our definition of sin can remove frustration and allow us to live a godly life.
How believing lies about God keeps us from escaping our rebellious, sinful attitudes.
The interaction between natural laws and sin.
"God's truth sets us free from Satan's slavery and it's lies about God that keep us trapped."
Learning to love is like learning to fly . . .
Eccentric. Weird. Crazy. Whatever people call her, Lila doesn’t mind. Most of the time. She finds solace in her sheltered world by raising butterflies and surrounding herself with their gentle beauty. They’re all she needs.
Most of the time.
Until a motorcycle-riding stranger roars up her driveway, invading her safe haven, throwing her life off-kilter, and forcing her to question everything. Persistent and stubborn, Harvey Sanford may be just what she needs—or everything she doesn’t.
He’s easy on the eyes, but hard on her emotions. What exactly is he after, and what is he not telling her? Should she safeguard her heart or follow it?
As a summer wedding approaches, Lila must decide how much she’s willing to risk for a chance at true happiness. In one intense night of desperation and revelation, she must confront her darkest fears—and hopefully discover that with faith and courage, shattered dreams can be restored, damaged hearts can love again, and broken wings can heal . . . maybe even fly.
A clean, inspirational, sweet summer romance!
Recommended for fans of contemporary Christian romance authors such as Courtney Walsh, Liz Isaacson, and Becky Wade.

A fake ad brings a cowboy to Georgia's door just in time for all the Quinn family holiday parties, so she hires Logan to be her boyfriend. Nothing can go wrong with this plan...except she might lose her heart to her newly contracted cowboy.
Georgia Quinn doesn't particularly love being one of the dozens of Quinns in Quinn Valley. Her family is just so loud, you know? And she's certainly not looking forward to a holiday season full of family get-togethers when she has to do everything alone after her painful break-up months ago.
When her granny mentions the holidays would be more fun with a boyfriend, Georgia seizes onto the idea and puts out an ad for someone to come fix the barn at the ranch. But what they really need to fix is her heart, and there's no one more suited for her than carpenter and cowboy Logan Locke.
Logan's the quiet type, and he hasn't had a serious relationship in a long time. But he desperately needs the money, and if Georgia needs her barn finished or a date to a party, he doesn't care as long as he gets paid.
Georgia and Logan pose as the perfect couple, showing her ex that she's moved on when she hasn't and his family that he can be serious about something when he never has been before. But how badly will they both crash and burn if they let their feelings become real in a relationship that is anything but?
