A Recovering Pastor’s Library

A room without books is like a body without a soul.

Here is a glimpse into the ever-growing, rotating bookshelf of a recovering alcoholic, former pastor, and general enthusiast of random (llamas are a category, so don’t judge). Here you’ll find my latest reads alongside past favorites and titles I’m itching to get my hands on (or earbuds in).

Think of it as a messy nightstand with way too many coffee cups and a whole lot of interesting scribbles in the margins. There’s some stuff on theology and faith, some brain candy in the form of personal growth and biographies, and probably a stray leadership book for good measure.

So, grab a metaphorical cup of joe (or something stronger…no judgment) and poke around. You never know what kind of weird book-fueled adventure you might stumble on.

Note: All links are Amazon affiliate links, which means I could get a small kickback.
