Top Books in 2013

Each year I post a list of books I read both professionally and just for fun.  Here is my list from 2013:

  • Calico Joe by John Grisham  (resurrected my childhood love of baseball)
  • Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling by Ross King (My trip to Italy made this a much more interesting book)
  • A Journey of Grace: The Formation of a Leader and a Church by Bishop Herbert W. Chilstrom
  • Travels in a Thin Country by Sara Wheeler (good book to prepare me for a trip to Chile)
  • My Invented Country by Isabel Allende (another required read before heading to Chile)
  • Clergy Renewal by A. Richard Bullock and Richard J Bruesehoff (you guessed it, professional reading material)
  • The Sacred Acre by Mark Tabb (powerful book on the life of coach Ed Thomas) 
  • The Girl that Sang to the Buffalo by Kent Nerburn (I finished the trilogy! Start by reading the book Neither Wolf nor Dog by the same author)
I didn't get as many books read this year compared to other years.  I only had 14 weddings in 2013.  One of those weddings included our son Jonathan sharing vows with his beautiful bride Michea!
Happy reading in 2014!
Blessings!
