Book List for 2010

My thoughts are to read three types of books simultaneously: spiritual (in addition to the Bible), professional, and recreational.

While I hope to read one book a month from each category and then write a book summary here, I don't know how realistic this is, but it does solve the blog dilemma I opined about last time.

Topping my spiritual list is Max Lucado's Cure for the Common Life.

My son gifted me with Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland this Christmas. It is beautifully illustrated. What a treasure!

Here's my professional list, complements of Dr. Buckles, my (former) marketing prof. He is the one that assigned the other books reported on in this blog that were so incredibly helpful.

    One of the books on your list, Max Lucado's Cure for the Common Life, changed my life> I hope you find it as challenging as I did. I am still working toward putting it to use ;)
    Blessings to you!
