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.
