Books that Have Helped Me

The following books have helped me stay the course - the right course of the calling God extended me. This list has, and will continue to change. These books are important to me for God has used their authors to provoke me, intrigue me, and most of all make me uncomfortable enough to grow beyond where I am.

No, I don't agree with them all. But as the pastor of Chicago's Moody Church once said, "Read especially those you don't agree with. That's where the learning comes from."
