As we close out the year and finish our Christmas shopping amidst a flurry of holiday parties, I took a moment to reflect on my reading over the past twelve months. Each year, I enjoy compiling a list of my reads, as it helps me appreciate the work and thoughts that have shaped my year. I reviewed the shelves in my office, scrolled through my Audible purchases, and checked my Amazon cart history. It’s fascinating how the books I’ve read encapsulate my growth and development over the year. This year was particularly focused on completing and releasing my second book, A Sharp Compassion. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has purchased the book since its release in September. If you’ve read it, I would love to hear your thoughts—perhaps you might consider leaving an Amazon review. Additionally, I completed my final year of the Doctor of Ministry program in the Art of Sacred Writing in 2024. This program involved extensive reading over the past three years, alongside my work on a novel. I’m still figuring out what that book will cover, so stay tuned for updates. Toward the end of this year, I’ve also been working on an exciting new YouTube project that I look forward to sharing with you soon. All this to say, it’s been a uniquely busy year. Despite the hustle and bustle, I’ve discovered some remarkable books that I want to share in my annual list of best reads. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
