What I’ve Read Lately
I like to read. A lot. I’m not sure whether that’s a strength or a weakness, but there it is. I like both fiction and non-fiction, biographies, history, theology, you name it. People ask me about books I like, so I thought I’d share some books I read (or, in some cases, re-read) and enjoyed…
