Why You Should Read Nonfiction BooksCopying isn't praised in our world. But what if I told you that my greatest accomplishment for 2017 was learning to copy someone else? I guess you're not impressed. But I am. Learning to copy is actually something that successful people actually do. Many of our modern inventions mimic things that nature does. So, learning to copy isn't a bad thing.
Out of all the things we could potentially copy in 2018, I would say that the habit of reading nonfiction books is number one. It is actually one of the habits that majority of America's most successful people share according to the huffingtonpost. No doubt this habit contributes to their success.
It is unrealistic to expect everyone to be as successful as them, but even avid readers often overlook nonfiction books. I was one of them. I dreaded these kind of books. They led me to think of my high school days where I was reading boring textbooks and shortly after forgot the information. As a result, I absolutely refused to voluntarily read nonfiction from front to back. That was until I stumbled upon the book Screen Schooled while scanning through my local library one day. I think it is helping me out big time.
This year, I learned that nonfiction books don't have to be boring. To begin with, they could teach you a lot. Fiction books, on the other hand, are primarily for entertainment. They could also teach many things, but since they put amusement first, they usually can't teach as much. Nonfiction books teach life lessons as well as things that will help us adapt to our environment. That's why we should read them. I will definitely copy this habit in 2018.

I Am Cancer Free by Mrs. Brenda C. Mohammed is the poignant memoir of the author's personal battle with cancer. Her faith in God and proving that ovarian cancer need not be a death sentence are what make this memoir a heartrending read. The author's 'never say die' attitude, the decision not to give up in life, and finally being cancer-free will encourage everyone who has been diagnosed with the disease or who has suffered from cancer. The memoir recounts from the time of diagnosis the experiences the author went through during the treatment, her emotions, fears, finances, until the successful treatment of the disease. It is a courageous story of survival, faith, and strength.
The author chronicles every step of her journey methodically, without leaving anything out, making the narration very personal, honest, and palpable to readers. The presence of God in everyone's life, a positive attitude, and the power of prayers run through the memoir. The author reiterates the fact that faith in God removes all obstacles in life. The conversational style of writing connects well with readers, making it easy for them to understand her journey. The author has also shared the poems she wrote during that phase in her life, where she again speaks about her story, faith in the Lord, and a Higher Power. For all those who are suffering from cancer and are battling the disease, this book is a must-read as it will give them hope, strength, and courage to fight the disease.
2.This was a touching and heartfelt account of the author's personal journey dealing with what could only be a terrifying ordeal.
Thanks to her faith in God and ability and willingness to travel out of the country for medical care, she won the fight and is here today to inspire us all
3.“I am Cancer Free “ is Brenda Mohammed’s personal story. She describes her battle with cancer including the cancer diagnosis, search for doctors, chemotherapies, tests, surgeries, costs, travels back and forth from Trinidad to Miami, and the moment she is declared by the doctor to be cancer-free.But it’s more than that. It’s a testament to Brenda Mohammed’s will, her faith in God, and the love and support of her families and friends.
4. A warm memoir told in a poignant, heartbreaking way by Ms. Mohammed.
It is inspirational, informative and honest as this story tells of the love of a family and the strength of the patient coming together to fight against the most awful disease ever to strike mankind.
5. This true story should be read by every person who has been diagnosed with or who has ever suffered from cancer. Their loved ones will also benefit from reading this autobiographical account.
During all the upheavals, the author never lost her faith in God. Her undaunting faith upheld her and comforted her during this dark period of her life. Her story clearly demonstrates that faith in God surmounts all obstacles.
5.What I will say is that everyone should read this book. We are all touched by this horrible and untimely disease, and reading the author's story helped me understand a little more how my father might be feeling. Whilst I know he will never be cancer free - I wanted to understand more.
It's emotional, heartfelt, honest and transparent. The author has told the story with true authenticity.
6.I was truly mesmerised throughout this true story, memoir - Brenda is an inspiration with her strength and her unfailing belief in God. The story takes you through her experience with Cancer, her decision to never give up and fight, and her pursuit of the right treatment for her - even if it meant going to another country.
7.Truly remarkable! The author shares her battle to beat ovarian cancer. She takes readers on quite a journey from life before diagnosis, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. She also provides enlightening insight on staying strong and the power of prayer and a positive attitude.
Brenda Mohammed - what a journey – and an inspiration. An excellent memoir.
8.A wonderful memoir about a woman who never lost her faith in God even when tested by cancer. A touching story about how family and friends can make a tough journey more bearable just being there in support of their loved one. Great job Brenda.
9.A heartfelt account of Brenda's personal experience dealing with cancer. She details when she was first diagnosed, her treatment, her experiences right through to her wonderful news that she is now cancer-free. Her book is easy to read and gives great insight & advice on what family & friends can do to help loved ones going through cancer treatment. Definitely worth reading!
10.“I am Cancer Free “ is Brenda Mohammed’s personal story. She describes her battle with cancer including the cancer diagnosis, search for doctors, chemotherapies, tests, surgeries, costs, travels back and forth from Trinidad to Miami, and the moment she is declared by the doctor to be cancer-free.
But it’s more than that. It’s a testament to Brenda Mohammed’s will, her faith in God, and the love and support of her families and friends.
11. This book is a moving account of the lady's fight against cancer and it gives hope to others who are fighting this terrible disease. I believe her strong faith played a part in her healing. I believe this book to be helpful to other fighters and loved ones of people who are suffering from this disease.
12.
I am Cancer Free is an extremely positive title for something that is so terrifying to pretty much all of us, were we to be diagnosed with it.
No illness is pleasant, but surely cancer is one of the very worst, and although survival rates are increasing all the time depending on the type of cancer concerned, it is good to know that the author, who thankfully defeated this terrible disease, overcome it in order to pen this extremely good read.

Replying to message 316: by HelenalaAdmission -- Some shameless self-promotion here. ;~)
Here's a highly original, non-fiction title (Memoir) that will help you make sense of the past 30 years ... while having your eyes opened wide -- in entertaining ways -- about Abu Dhabi (UAE), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), and the true meaning/intent of Globalization.
Some explicit eroticism + romance thrown in for good measure too, as that played an important role in this true and eclectic personal narrative from 1996.
A 201 page, fast-paced memoir that will likely change your perceptions about many things you see (or think you see) today:
