NEEDFUL THINGS by Stephen King- Lessons Learned from Reading this Book. Five Stars

from Inspired Mind · host Machel Shull

LESSONS LEARNED from reading STEPHEN KING's book, NEEDFUL THINGS: Host, Machel Shull of the INSPIRED MIND PODCAST happens to love Stephen King books. This summer she is being a 'constant reader,' by reading THE STAND, REVIVAL and now NEEDFUL THINGS by legendary gifted author of suspense and horror and the human psyche. In NEEDFUL THINGS, a mysterious man named Leland Gaunt opens a shop called NEEDFUL THINGS. Everyone that buys something there must pay a small price along with the dollar amount by playing a prank on another resident in town. Chaos ensues. Lives are shattered. People lose hope. It's up to the sheriff to unveil the why all of this is happening in Castle Rock?In this podcast, what life lessons can be gleamed from reading this book? How does "Art imitate real life?" And if you think truth is stranger than fiction you have never read a Stephen King book. Dearest Listener, Thanks for tuning into the INSPIRED MIND podcast. I am an avid reader of all genres, including Stephen King books. While some think we should only focus on the light, it's important to understand where the darkness may lie and reading fiction books can reveal key aspects of the human spirit that you might have missed. If 'art imitates life,' just like Oscar Wilde suggested, how can we learn from what we read? What are the secret golden nuggets to be had inside the pages of any fiction book you read? Also, fid out real fast why playing a prank on another human being could lead to disaster. Stay kind and have an inspired mind,Machel Shull, host of INSPIRED MIND PODCAST.MACHELSHULL.COMInspiredmindpodcast.com - Please visit the website for this podcast for your free E-Book, '52 WEEKS OF POWERFUL WORDS TO HELP YOU RISE.'
