Read: If you want to walk on water you've got to get out of the boat

So, some time ago I finished listening to an audio book from John Ortberg called "Everybody's normal till you get to know them". Although I like listening to books, I've figured out I only like it for the books I've already read. Otherwise I would "read" it too fast. Well, I've decided to check this Ortberg guy a bit more so I went to Bookdepository.com and searched for some other of his books. Eventually I ended up ordering Zondervans miniature edition, not really knowing what miniature edition means. My wife had a good laugh about it when the book arrived 10 days later. It's a mini pocket size, that's for sure.

Reading: Leadership as an Identity

About 3 months ago I've joined a  group of men I know for quite some time to start a men's book club so to speak. All of us are involved in some kind of Christian Ministry so we decided to meet once a month and read together a book on leadership. As we all read many books on this topic we were presented by one from Moody Publishers which a friend of mine read this summer.

My bookshelf

Here I'll update a list of all the books I have at home and make a note if I have read them or not.

This will not the be for bragging purposes as I don't have that many books, and to be honest I need to define my policy on getting new books. I'm torn apart between buying new (not necessarily brand new) books or just  borrowing from friends or library. I still need to decide if I'm more of a book reader or a book collector.

At the same time, I'll try and place a tag "mybookshelf" on the posts that talk about book/s which I own.
