The following is the list of books that I read in 2010. I make it a goal to read at least 25 books every year, as you can tell, about 2 a month. While I read 5 more books than I did in 2009, I still fell 5 books short of my goal. Hopefully I’ll hit my goal of 25 books this year. Oh yeah, and I read through the Bible in 2010 but that doesn’t go on the list, THE BIBLE STANDS APART FROM ANY LIST.
What about you? What did you read this past year? How did it impact you? What do you plan to read this year? No such thing as someone who’s not a reader, it just depends on what you like to read: blogs, magazines, twitter posts, books… we all read in one way or another. Reading is one of the greatest ways you grow as a person and one of the greatest ways you grow your leadership! I encourage you to press on, discipline yourself in this area and READ! I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again: LEADERS ARE READERS! Over the next couple of days I want to share my top 5 reads from this past year… stay tuned.

You missed a little book called Go Big with Small Groups! Not sure any year long reading could be complete without that superb read
