recommended reading books pastorsFor the last two years I have committed myself to growing in wisdom and knowledge and I’ve aimed at reading a book a week.

To be honest, I haven’t always hit the mark but it’s a habit I highly recommend.

You can take a look at Growing Pastors Have Growing Churches for more info on how to set up a growth plan for yourself.

It’s so important if we are to be the best pastors and leaders that we can be that we read, read, learn and read!
