My Book List


Many of these books are taken from a compilation of a books list done by a young men and young ladies emerging leadership group.  The remaining majority, except a few books of mine here and there, have been compiled by my wonderful English teacher.  Feel free to read any of these books, but I suggest that when you do, use discretion, and read them in accordance with God's Word as I hope to do. :)

Also, several of these books are written with content directed more towards young men (as you will see if you read some of the titles), and others for young ladies.  However, I intend to read all the books, keeping in mind the different roles and responsibilities that God has given to male and female (I just wanted to make that clear :)).
