What Brian will be reading in 2008

Recently I heard someone say "If you want to see how a person has grown in the last year look at what they read last year. If you want to know where a person will grow next year look at what they will read next year." Though this statement does not take into account that we grow in amazing ways through trials it is definitely true that we grow as we read. My commitment is to read through the Bible each year and to read a minimum of 100 pages per week in books that will help me to grow. By simply reading 15-20 minutes per day a person can read 100 pages per week. Annually I make a plan of what I will read in the coming year to maximize my growth. So here are the approximately 5200 pages that I will be reading next year. Join me if you are interested! -- Brian Howard
