Book List of 2011
I love to read and think that knowledge is crucial to shaping conversations and growth. I get asked from time to time what I am reading and especially how it relates to Christendom.
The internet is a friend of information. Books are friends of thought. I love and use the internet daily, but also love to dive in a good book, and not on an iPad, but you know like a physical book, with real pages. Listed below are a few that I hope many more people will come to love. While I would be remise if I said that I endorse every thought offered in these titles, I do strongly encourage everyone to read them and engage one another with the ideas presented.
Also read novels (the classics mainly). Or else you’ll be boring. Enjoy!
