Jan books!









Sex is important... I already knew this :) But it breaks it down so you really understand the power of sex. Back in the day when you had sex your were already married from that point on.

This guy talks alot about how God uses messy people. How none of us are perfect and how we all have our sin. Thats basically all it talks about. All of the disciples and the greatest bible figures live's were full of sin. Its not saying it is ok to sin. But it just points out that being holy is not about being sinless.
This guy Brother Lawrence is so crazy about God! Every moment he spends talking with Jesus. He says when he picks up a fry he is talking to God. There is a scripture that says pray without ceasing. And I think this is how you can accomplish that.
Erwin is so smart when it comes to philosophy. He talks alot about are deepest desires. And how we always want to become, acomplish, aspire, and grow. 

Great book. Pushed me to become even better. A leader isnt one who knows something first. He's just the first to mouth it. Leaders arent always the best, smartest, or most talented. Just the ones who have the balls to stand out and say what others are thinking.

This book rocked me! Don Miller just talks about his life. He's so unreligious I loved it.
