What I’m Reading

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. I can usually be found with several books books which 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.  On this page, I will share with you the books that I am currently reading and will from time to time share a simple review of a book that I have recently completed.  I hope this page encourages you to read more and as a result become a better leader.
