Pastor Brad’s Bookshelf
A well-known and often-quoted statement on reading says, “Leaders are readers, and readers are leaders.” That’s one of the reasons why I have always been an avid reader. You can usually find me with several books that I am working my way through at the same time. I primarily read for fun, personal growth, and to equip me to be a more effective and efficient pastor and preacher. On this page, I will share with you the books that I am currently reading. Occasionally I might even share a simple review. I hope this page encourages you to read more and, as a result, become a better leader.

From Amazon.com: “Who are you when the teeth come out? For every true act of leadership, there is an equal and monstrous act of sabotage. Our leaders have been entirely routed by the agitated and the anxious. These emotional tyrannies manifest themselves in local libraries, HR cubicles, elder meetings, and at your Thanksgiving dinners.
In this book, Professor Joe Rigney seeks to recover the nerve of old that steadied leaders to make tough calls. The nerve that braces them when sabotage comes–because it will. The nerve that has more fun than its enemies.
Cheer up, there’s no way out but through.
