Jerry Falwell frequently used to quote Charles E. Jones, saying, “Five years from now you’ll be the same person you are today except for the books you read and the people you meet.”
I’ve included a reading category in my major goals for 2009, which are broken down according to quarter. So, for April to June 2009, here is my list of books I’m trying to read:
Reading List April-June 2009
- Communicating for a Change by Andy Stanley (Finished)
- Unchristian by George Barna
- After Fidel by Brian Latell
- Axiom by Bill Hybels
- Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi and Tahl Raz
- Creating an Intimate Marriage by Jim Burns
- Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry by Andrew Root
- Youth Ministry 3.0 by Marko
- The Labyrinth of Solitude by Octavio Paz
- In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day by Mark Batterson
- Killing Cockroaches by Tony Morgan

wow – that’s quite a list!
i’m reading The Blue Sweater by Jacqueline Novogratz which is fantastic. Next on my list is God’s Continent by Philip Jenkins and Wide Awake by Erwin McManus.
So are you going to read Octavio Paz in English or Spanish? I read it in English – maybe someday in Spanish! (It was worth the read though)
Hey Jaime…due to time restraints, I’ll probably read it in English. Of course, I could probably get it easier in Spanish here.
