                    I've read a liitle bit of Og's The Greatest Miracle of the World and I'm proud that I've finish today after I borrowed it yesterday to Marvin a book of him which is  The Twelfth Angel. It's an inspirational story giving hope. Og Mandino is like a candle giving light to those in doom. When I was reading it I didn't know that tears are falling from my eyes. I still remember that I cried three times, so sad and it make me realize that a deceased someone is happy with GOD. His Twelfth angel is really magnificent. Thanks to Timothy Noble that give  strength to John Harding to continue his life after the lost of his beloved wife Sally and son Rick.  I will buy Mandino books and also his favorite books. Try to read Mandino's books and I'm sure you'll be crazy about him too. 
                     An ANGEL is always guiding us with the will of the LORD.
