The Most Beautiful Names of Allah, Samira Fayyad Khawaldeh. I bought this copy a few years' ago from Kitabistan Book Gallery in DHA, Lahore, although I've since bought many other copies in London to gift to family and friends. It explains and illustrates the meaning of each and every name attributed to the Almighty, and how to recite it. There are ninety-nine~99 attributed names.

Interesting insight on her visit to Ceausescu in the mid 1970s:

pp. 354:

"Ceausescu was playing a ruthless game in which ethnic tensions (with Hungary), East-West competition (between NATO and the Warsaw Pact) and rivalry within the communist world (between Soviet Union and China) were exploited as seemed appropriate at any juncture. (...) Although he became ffective leader in 1865, it was not until 1974 that he united the functions of Party Leader and Head of State and Government. From now on he was freer to indulge his political fantasies. For what we Westerners did not sufficiently grasp was that Ceausescu was a thrawback both to Stalinism whose methods he employed and indeed to a more traditional Balkan despotism for which the promotion of his family and flouting of wealth and power were essential trappings. Ceausescu himself never struck me as anything out of ordinary, just cold, rather dull, spewing forth streams of statistics and possessing that stilted formal courtesy that communists adopted as a substitute for genuine civilization.

We discussed the Soviet threat and he gave me a long account, faithfully mirrored later by guides, diplomats and factory managers of the astonishing successes of Romanian economy. He was particularly proud of the level of investment which, as a share of the national economy certainly dwarfed that of the Western countries. In fact, of course, misdirected investment is a classic feature of the planned economy; it was just that Romania whose people apart from its ruling elite its lived in poverty, misdirected more than other."

For more information on the above visit and its bearing on human rights in Romania read: "Blouse Roumaine - the Unsung Voices of Romanian Women".

The Dream Manager: Matthew Kelly by Greg Corey

More of a book on management, but great self improvement book too. Basically about motivating people by tapping into our desire to fulfill our dreams. Makes you think about what your dreams are!
