December

1. Heroes of the Holy Life, by Wesley Duewell.
This is a collection of brief biographies of great saints of history. I was challenged and inspired to deepen my prayer life, and to learn more about these godly lives.

2. Brethren Hang Loose, by Robert Girard.
A book from the 70's by a fellow who pastored Hayward Wesleyan Church at one time. A good read. Bob was before his time in the area of small groups and spiritual formation.

3. Furious Pursuit. by Tim King and Frank Martin.
This is a new book (2006) which reminds me a lot of Wild at Heart. The idea here is that we have a God who passionate loves and pursues us! Refreshing.

4. Making Ripples by Mike Breaux.
A great little book that shows the difference one life can make. A quick and fun read!

5. Preacher and Prayer by E. M. Bounds.
Besides the Bible, I think this is my favorite book. I have read it four or five times, and get something new in every reading. It helps me love God more.

6. Life Wisdom from Billy Graham
A collection of quotes from this great hero of the faith. Heartwarming.
