As I was setting up this blog, I was given the option of picking different templates for the blog. I chose this template with the books in the background intentionally. I have joked before that books are my friends. Though I don’t remember necessarily enjoying reading as a kid, reading has become a huge value in my life. Repeatedly God has used books to impact my life. Sometimes that impact has been a huge corrective; other times the impact has been to encourage and stretch me. Below is a list of books that have left their mark in my life. I would encourage you to take a look at the list and consider reading some of these books. I will be put some of this list permanently on the right side of the blog. Hopefully I will be adding to it as time goes on. Here is the list of books:
