My Top 10 Books: Spring/Summer 2013

A key to good leadership, and good preaching, is reading broadly. I continue to read a few of these books very slowly over time (e.g. The Interior Castle and The Writing Life). Others I have read in a couple of days (e.g. Making Friends Among the Taliban). Enjoy!

• Making Friends Among the Taliban – Jonathan P. Larson
• The Little Way of Ruthie Leming – Rod Dreher
• Fill These Hearts – Christopher West
