After reading I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT A DREAM I was reminded of two powerful quotes by Robin Sharma. ·         “My love for books is what saved me.” ·         “It’s not what you will get out of the books that is so enriching – it is what the books will get     out of you that will ultimately change your life”. For me this book is a detailed version of what Robin Sharma was talking about in those two quotes. The writing is amazing, it's  unpretentious, lucid and poignant, I really enjoyed it and the story-line is astounding and relatable.  The Robertson’s, the other families that took him in, his friends and every single person who helped him, I sincerely believe that was God extending a helping hand to him.  Never have I been so touched by a book to a point of tears, I am not sure if it’s because I know the author personally hence I was able to relate and empathize with him in such a vulnerable and humane manner or if it was pure

Celebrating my birthday is one of the highest favours God can  ever afford me, hence I continue to be thankful for each year I get to celebrate because I'm reminded of God's grace and mercy into my life.
