I recently purchase a Kindle. It has been well worth the price so far as I have turned wasted time into reading/learning time. I love the fact that Kindle is not only a device but software for my Mac and iPhone. That way, if my wife is reading on the Kindle, I can keep up with my books on these other platforms. Amazon is having a great sale on Kindle books right now. Here’s what I’ve purchased recently for my summer reading:
- Bring It!: The Revolutionary Fitness Plan for All Levels That Burns Fat, Builds Muscle, and Shreds Inches-From Tony Horton the p90 X guy
- On Who Is God?-From Mark Driscoll. Good short read.
- WEIRD: Because Normal Isn’t Working-from Craig Groeschel
- Radical Together: Unleashing the People of God for the Purpose of God-Challenging read.
- Ignite: How to Spark Immediate Growth in Your Church-Great ideas from Nelson Searcy. Using this for training our leaders.
- Fusion: Turning First-Time Guests into Fully-Engaged Members of Your Church-We have implemented many of the ideas from this book already.
- The Inner Circle-I’m a huge Brad Meltzer fan.
- Stretch Deck-Downloaded this on Kindle for iphone so I’ve always got 50 great stretches with me. With pics and descriptions.
- The Only Grant-Writing Book You’ll Ever Need: Top Grant Writers and Grant Givers Share Their Secrets-My wife likes to read too. She just started writing grants for people at Grants by Karen.
- Poke the Box-part of Seth Godin’sDomino Project. A manifesto to get started.
That should be enough to keep me busy this summer. What’s on your reading list?
