2024 Reading List: 52 Books I'm Reading This Year
Here it is: My 2024 Reading List.
I start the year each year with a list of books I plan on reading. Many of you are long-time readers and know I read 52 books a year. I was able to finish about 52 this year. I'm looking forward to my list for next year. It is a fairly diverse list, but it does hone in on some of my passion areas, including Leadership, Preaching, Theology, and Discipleship. So here are the 52 books I plan to read this year (by category).
