“Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.” – Harry Truman.
I absolutely love to read. My love for reading began around the start of my freshman year at the University of Kentucky in 1998. Providentially, this was also the time that I became much more serious about living out my Christian faith. Below are some of the books that I have set aside time in my week to knock out. Some are theological in nature, while others are not. All of them I believe will help me in some manner be a more faithful Christian, husband, dad, and pastor. Over the course of the next several months, I’ll most likely write summary posts of each book, in order to pass on some of the takeaways, truths, and principles I’ve gleaned.
