27 Sep Life changing books
Life changing books ~ We are what we read! People often ask me, as a Pastor, to recommend books. Apart from the Bible (which has clearly had the biggest influence!) the following have been the most influential at different stages of my Christian life and have been life changing books:
Be Intentional! Read more this year!
Why not make a choice this year to read more? I’ve benefited so much from the many books I’ve read. So why not choose today to read a new book? I’ve made it easy for you… simply CLICK on the book’s image and you will be taken directly to Amazon.
