David Labahn's Pick for October/November:


Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy Seals Lead and Win
 
by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin

From David: If you are in any position of leadership, this book is a MUST! In a world where people refuse to take personal responsibility, this book encourages and reminds leaders that we set the pace and must take personal responsibility for what happens in our sphere of influence.

 

Linda Hoffman's Pick for October/November:


Right From Wrong: What You Need to Know to Help Youth Make Right Choices
 
by Josh McDowell

From Linda: To this generation, truth is a matter of taste and morality of individual preference. Parents are painfully aware that their kids are veering away from Biblical values at an alarming rate. This book provides a practical blueprint for understanding moral absolutes and passing on core values to the next generation. Full of engaging stories kids are captivated by.

 

Kevin Miller's Pick for October/November:


Ants, Vines, and Churches
 
by Charles Simpson

From Kevin: This book is a fresh Apostolic call to the church. It is a description of the living, changing process of how the church grows and reproduces. Brother Charles is kingdom deep, southern funny, completely in love with Christ’s church (with all its flaws), and an astute observer of our modern culture. I buy every book he recommends and writes. In this book he shifted my focus of ministry, what the church really is and how God intends us to function in a complicated world.

 

David Matranga's Pick for October/November:


Whisper: How to Hear the Voice of God
 
by Mark Batterson

From David: Batterson always makes you think, and this book is extremely practical and enjoyable to read.

 

Don Bastrom's Pick for October/November:

 


Switch On Your Brain: The Key to Peak Happiness, Thinking, and Health
 
by Dr. Caroline Leaf

From Don: What we think about truly affects us both physically and emotionally. Romans 12:2 says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Dr. Caroline Leaf shows you how - using science - that this scripture and others are literally, physically true. 2 Tim 1:7 "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” One of the top books that has impacted my life profoundly.
