2012 Book List

Why?
1. Leaders are readers.
2. My personal development is not up to others, it is up to me. 
3. I want to gain from the wisdom of others by taking the initiative to learn from them not being passive and hoping it falls into my brain.
4. The law of entropy says things go from order to disorder, so to fight that, I want to keep vision before me to keep me focused on the things God has called me to.
5. To keep me from growing mentally stagnate.

Therefore, I commit to read the following 18 books in 2012 by the strength the Holy Spirit provides.
My plan:
1. Read for at least 20 minutes before bed every night.
2. Have a family reading night. (?)
3. Read for at least an hour on Saturday afternoons.
4. Read in the car on road trips.
