When I first left seminary, I felt freed of the necessity of reading and thus was compelled to read all that I could. Then I was promptly thrust into full-time ministry where I felt overly ill-prepared for the task at hand, so I took up more reading to feel more prepared for my responsibilities. I can't tell you how many books (or parts of books as the case may be) I have read in the last year, but I thought I would share some of the top ranking books of this year:
1) Kite Runner
2) The Memory Keeper's Daughter
3) The Stupidest Angel
4) Deepening Your Effectiveness
5) The Measure of a Man
suggestions for the next year of reading?
Loved "The Stupidest Angel"
