I am compiling my reading list for 2016. I started doing this in 2014 (14 in '14) and kept it going last year (you guessed it, 15 in'15). I thought I was really doing awesome until I heard about President Teague at Lancaster Bible College who reads up to 12 books at any one time and Pat Williams a sports Executive who reads approximately 300 books a year. That blows my mind. I guess at my current rate by 2314 I will be up to 300 books a year. Unfortunately I will have been dead for over 250 years at that point.
I would love to hear what books have been influential and beneficial to you over the years. I am especially interested in books that can help me in one of my roles. I am looking for books on leadership, coaching, teaching, personal finance, marriage, parenting, youth ministry, history, biographies of great people, etc. No suggestion will be ignored.
Thanks for your help,
Paul
