What I read in 2018
This year was full of big changes. In October, I accepted a new position at Church of Hope in Sarasota, Florida and said goodbye to all the friends we made in Montgomery. With that change came a lot of stress. As a result, I read a lot more fiction this year, than I have in a long time.
My favorite book this year by far was
The Road Back to You
by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile. If you didn't hear about the Enneagram this year, you may be living under a rock, but I can say that it is so much more than a personality assessment. It's about understanding the why of who you are and finding spiritual renewal as you search for health. I have to say this book has impacted the way I look at life and how I interact with others second only to the Bible. If you haven't read it yet, you should.
So here's my list for 2018 in no particular order:
The Bible
