Reading in 2020
I'm much more of a book hoarder than a reader it seems. This morning, I finished writing down my list of books I read in 2019. Seventeen books were on the list. That took little effort on my part, especially since five or six of them were ones I read on my Kindle as I'm going to bed. I have to do better than that, otherwise I'm being a pretty terrible steward of the riches I've spent over the years on books.
So, I collected a bunch of books and organized them into a box accompanied by a list of which ones I chose. I'm putting the list here in case anyone thinks they might be interested in a particular title. Also, I need to report on my progress at the end of the year so I can either celebrate or hang my head in shame.
A couple of notes, the first three are my every day reads. Devotional material, if you will. One of the books, Preaching in the Spirit by Dennis F. Kinlaw, is one I read every single year. Finally, I'm making a concerted effort to mix in some fiction this year. I've been very, very bad about reading fiction since I graduated from college with a, you know, degree in English.
