Reading is FUNdamental

In the new year I hope to read more, peruse more, and apply more what I am learning. Here are some of the titles I have been reading and/or hope to read in the very near future:

Built to Last and Good to Great by Jim Collins - great info for starting a church or non-profit

An Unstoppable Force by Erwin McManus - a must read for any church planter or anyone wanting to lead a missional church

The Radical Leap by Steve Farber - “a personal lesson in extreme leadership”

Deadly Viper: Character Assassins by Mike Foster and Jud Wilhite - “a kung fu survival guide for our integrity”

Faith in the Halls of Power by D. Michael Lindsay - How Evangelicals are influencing our culture from positions of power (article here)

No Ordinary Time about FDR vs. Hitler and Team of Rivals about Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin, She is my absolute favorite historian!

The 4:8 Principle by Thomas Newberry and How Full is Your Bucket? by Tom Rath - both are about winning the battle in our mind

Microtrends by Mark Penn - “The Small Forces Behind Tomorrow’s Big Changes”

I Am America (and So Can You) by Stephen Colbert - this will help me become a better American

Great to see you're contributing here! I'm putting a couple more of these that I haven't read yet on my next book order! Thanks!

Hi Eric,

I love Doris Kearns Goodwin's books too. My favorite by her is "Wait til Next Year." I will check out your other recommendations as well -- thanks.

And in the spirit of giving, here is a new book I was given an advance copy of my a friend that while it is considered a business book, I think people can learn life lessons from it as well. It's called "The Go-Giver" by Bob Burg and John David Mann.

Happy Holidays!

Cheers,
Linda
