Sometimes I feel more motivation to read than others, which is normal given the ebb and flow of everyday life with a family of five and a thriving ministry.  Over the last several years I have had the opportunity to read on a range of subjects and after talking with Monica we put together a list of some of our favorites to share with you.

Enjoy!
