Books I Am Reading

It is time to share again what books I am reading right now. Why? Because hopefully one of the titles might interest you and you would pick up the book and be challenged. One of things I learned early in seminary was that I needed to be a lifelong learner. What this means is that even though my formal education at Denver Seminary ended, I needed to continue to grow in my knowledge and experience informally. For me, I do this through conferences and observations from others in ministry, but more consistently through reading. Sidenote: I hated reading until I graduated from seminary, but now I love sitting down with a good book to help or challenge me in ministry.

Here is what I am reading right now:

Home Improvement: Eight Tools for Effective Parenting by Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller
Spiritual Milestones by Jim & Janet Weidmann & J. Otis & Gail Ledbetter
The Blessing by John Trent & Gary Smalley
Unfashionable by Tullian Tchividjian
The Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn
