28-Day Reading Challenge

About

The Reading Revolution is a 28-Day Challenge that was created to inspire positive change by opening our hearts and minds through reading. The Challenge exists to encourage reading as a fun habit for a lifetime.

Books provide nourishment for our soul and fortifies our minds. The Reading Challenge is your personal challenge. It's more of the HOW than the WHAT of reading. HOW will the book you read shift your thought on a subject or how will it propel you to great action. Books stir our imagination and makes the impossible seem possible. The Challenge is to get you thinking about the possible. This is your time to put focus and discipline to reading 4 books in 1 month, longer should you choose to continue beyond the 28 days and 4 books reading challenge.

Use this challenge to kick-start you to reading those books you've always wanted to read but 'didn't have time'. Turn off the TV and make room for reading a couple of hours a day for 28 days. Then, share your thoughts and your reads by joining the 28-Day Reading Challenge community.

Challenge Vision:
I see a day when we are able to use the knowledge we get from books and use that knowledge to create a better home, community, and world.

"And knowledge without transformation is not wisdom." -Paulo Coelho, Brida
