Reading List
|
According to a Harris Poll of 2005, reading is one of America's favorite past-times with roughly 35% of adults ranking it as their favorite. My seminary professors recommended (aka: required) that we students help drive that number up. Honestly, I do enjoy reading, although my choice of genre, as indicated below, is more along the lines of teaching or learning about something. However, I'll do my best to throw in a book or two with a small plot. Self-development is neither a philosophy nor good intentions. Self-renewal is not a warm glow. Both are action.

I recommend ordering books through Abe Books. With new and used books, reviews, and the ability to contact the seller, the site retains my business. Further, Abe.com also allows for a wish list to be created and E-mails when a match has been found.* *No one affiliated with UnitMinistry.com receives any incentive whatsoever to endorse Abe.com on this site, I just think they do a good job. |
