22. Shoulda Coulda Woulda: Live in the Present|Find your Future -- Les Parrott

Everyone has regrets. Learn from the core of event and live better/change.
True guilt--sinned against God's law vs. false guilt--the feeling of guilt that may not even be related to something you actually did wrong.
Guilt vs godly sorrow. Guilt is self-focused and leads to hopelessness. Sorrow is others-focused and leads to change.

21. The Overcoming Life - D. L. Moody

"If you are not overcoming temptations, the world is overcoming you.
How can the world be overcome? Not by education, not by experience; only by faith."

Fight worldly habits, temptations, pleasures.
Have humility, the yoke of Christ is light.
Hold up the candle.
There is no rest in sin.

"Let us go on turning as many as we can to righteousness. Let us be dead to the world, to its lies, its pleasures, and its ambitions, Let us live for God, continually going forth to win souls for Him. ...'Will you thus live and dies, O man immortal? Live for something. Do good, and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storms of time can never destroy. Write your name in kindness, love, and mercy on the hearts of the thousands you come in contact with year by year" p.84

So many applicable, real life stories that is just as relevant today as when Moody wrote the book. Definitely worth a re-read to boost the spiritual life.
