The 2023 reading list

I read or re-read 18 books in 2023. That's probably more than I've done in awhile. While some were excellent, all were good. I don't know that I could even venture a 'top 5' because what I might recommend for one person might not be good to another. I would recommend all of them to someone though.

So, here's the list, which is just kind of nice to look over for me personally as I think back on the time I spent with each of them...

  • Learning Humility, Richard Foster
  • Critical Limits, Isaac Horwedel (PhD dissertation)
  • Tattoos On The Heart, Gregory Boyle
  • Orthodoxy, G.K. Chesterton
  • The Lakota Way, James Marshall III
  • Tortilla Flat, John Steinbeck
  • Aesop's Fables
  • The Jesus I Never Knew, Philip Yancey
  • Rethinking Life, Shane Claiborne
  • Revelation for the Rest of Us, Scot McKnight & Cody Matchett
  • Mission Is The Shape of Water, Michael Frost
  • Cannery Row, John Steinbeck
  • An Arrow Pointing to Heaven, James Bryan Smith
  • Black Elk Speaks, John G. Neihardt
  • A More Christlike God, Bradley Jersak
  • Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke
  • A Different Way, Christopher A. Hall
  • Faith Like A Child, Lacy Finn Borgo

 I already have a stack ready to go for 2023, which includes my newest four (Christmas presents). I'm actually excited to get to work on them. I can't say I've anticipated reading like this in quite some time - maybe ever! It's weird, but a good feeling nonetheless.
