Reading List

Historically, I have not been a strong reader but that is something I am trying to change.  I have found reading to be an integral part of my spiritual growth.  This is my way of keeping myself accountable and on track with my reading.  If you see me around, make it a point to ask me what book I’m reading currently, what have I learned from it and how I am doing on making my way through the rest of the list.
