Here are the books I’ve been sinking my teeth into this month. Excited to start publishing some reviews on them very soon. Check the link list below for reviews and links to Amazon if you want to pick them up.
Some of these I’ve already finished, and others I’m just getting started. A big stretch goal of mine is to increase reading speed and get through more in a shorter amount of time. I’ll be writing a post on why you should develop that skill set soon. Not going to lie though, I used to be a painfully slow reader and it took some mind shifts for me to understand how to develop that ability.
But books matter. Way more than you may care to think. I view every author like a mentor (read this post on that). A treasure chest of wisdom is at your finger tips if you’re willing to take the time and dive in.

Clive Staples Lewis, a man of many talents and contradictions. A writer of both children’s stories and theological treatises, a lifelong bachelor who married late in life, an atheist turned Christian, and a stern scholar with a wild imagination. And, just like the British weather, he was ever unpredictable, but that’s why we loved him.
His best chums called him Jack though…
Jack was a British scholar, novelist, and theologian, whose many achievements make the rest of us feel rather inadequate.
