Well, it’s here. The end of the year. One of my favorite things to do each year is to review the list of books that I’ve read. [Note: I keep a reading log throughout the year to keep track of everything I’ve read.] I’m fascinated by how books shape me and how certain books provide […]
You all know we well enough to know that reading is a huge value to me. My family gets annoyed by the stacks of books that are piled up in my office and on my nightstand. I just can’t get enough. I buy books faster than I can read them. Today I’m in Wisconsin visiting […]
Occasionally there are unexpected collisions in life that alter our course even if we don’t realize it at the time. My collision with Kat Davis was less than a spectacular one (or so I thought at the time.) We were two young twenty-something interns competing for power and influence and our chance to make our […]
One of the challenges I find as a leader is sorting through all of the great resources out there for equipping yourself and your team.

Here’s my reading list from 2009: Non-Fiction: Invitation to Solitude and Silence by Ruth Haley Barton Axiom […]

In his book, Andy explains why this simple principle has such a profound impact on every area of our lives. He shares how each decision we make affects our destination. Whether a failed relationship, an unmet […]

I love to read! Unfortunately, finding dedicated time to read is one of my greatest challenges these days. Any time that I can sneak away with a book is a treasure for me.
