Summer is a wonderful time for reading, whether it is on the backyard patio, a family vacation, or listening to an audiobook while driving, walking or running. This summer, I plan to read books in a variety of genres – biography, leadership, theology, Christian living, etc.
Here is what I have planned to read this summer:
Bible Reading. My wife Tammy and I are reading through the Bible, a chapter at a time. As of this writing, we are in the Psalms, using the Reformation Study Bible (English Standard Version).
