I am back into my reading routine. I have found that I get in a rhythm with my reading and accomplish my goal if I can ever get started.
#7. Serve God Save The Planet, A Christian Call to Action by J. Matthew Sleeth, M.D.
This was a good read. I didn’t know if I would be able to get into the subject matter or not. The issue of creation care has really been intriguing to me over the last several years so when the book was recommended I thought I would give it a shot. Well, to my surprise it turned out to be a book that I will recommend. Whether you think the Earth is heating up or not, we all have a responsibility to care for the Earth that God made and gave us to work.
editor’s words – Serve God, Save the Planet by former emergency room doctor Dr. J. Matthew Sleeth is a deeply personal book with far-reaching ramifications for Christians and all those who take their devotion to God seriously. The book presents a gripping account of Dr. Sleeth’s personal and spiritual journey to environmental stewardship. It lays out sobering rationale for life changes, and a “how-to” guide for lifestyle changes that will help care for others and protect the earth.
#8. Tribes, We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin
Small book, but powerful reading. There are no chapters, just quick burst of paragraphs. There doesn’t seem to be a reasoning behind how he links subjects together sometimes, but he definitely gets his points across. Worth the time to read.
editor’s words – Tribes is a book about marketing, apparently, except it’s actually about leadership. We see Tribes behind every successful brand, organization, politician, non profit and cause. And yet it seems almost impossible to attract a tribe. In this book, I try to explain that the challenge is leadership, not marketing or hype.
#9. Strengths Finder 2.0, Tom Rath
Very easy to read. Short book that gives insight as to why many people are unfulfilled by there work. Purchasing the book entitles you to take an online Strengths Finder inventory. I really enjoyed getting the results. I would recommend this book.
editor’s words -To help people uncover their talents, Gallup introduced the first version of its online assessment, StrengthsFinder, in the 2001 management book Now, Discover Your Strengths. The book spent more than five years on the bestseller lists and ignited a global conversation, while StrengthsFinder helped millions to discover their top five talents. In StrengthsFinder 2.0 Gallup unveiled the new and improved version of its popular assessment, language of 34 themes, and much more. While you can read this book in one sitting, you’ll use it as a reference for decades.
