I read a lot. I selfishly protect my time by waiting on multiple recommendations before reading a book (so you'll never see me read a book before someone else). I really never started reading until I enrolled in the Religious Studies department at OU and then started working in ministry. Here's a list of the books I've read in the last few years... Some of the books towards the bottom have book reviews that you can click on and I've put my favorites in bold red.
