Summer 2011 Reading List

Someone very wise once said, “Leaders are Readers.” Don’t ask us who said it, we don’t know. But one of the best ways to grow in your faith (or to seek truth if you are not a follower of Jesus) is to read good books from great Christians.

Reading great books is kinda like being discipled by some of the wisest people you may never meet. And it is one of the ways you can be a part of a universal community of faith.

So whether you have all summer free or whether you are going to be busier than when you are at the UofA, picking up some great books can be one of the best ways to help you grow this summer.
