As I speak to groups and talk about books that have helped me, many ask can I have your book list. Well even though this is not a comprehensive list of books I love, these are books I consistently go back to for my values and moral compass.

Though my day starts with reading of Scripture, I have found many great ideas and thoughts to implement in my life. I hope you find this to be a good resource for you.
