Books

You all know I love to read I saw this post on another blog

• * have these books & yes have read them
Some I recommend even. I got the knife jpegs from here & not much more
I am guessing.
I am not long back from a meeting where talked about growing our church.
What we can do to help fix our leadership which I am a part of
Some of these books I don’t know and the ones I marked I own.
Some of which I recommend I have not changed my mind

One of my great passions is reading I love books what away to open your mind
To other ideas, other ways of looking at things?
So of these book well yes leave then on the shelf others read them give them to others to read. Most of the ones I have marked I bought them but I don't have them any more I lent them to people now they have them.
If I got them back I would need a much bigger house to store them in.
