I am currently going through a book on leadership with my friends, Bev and Karen. \u00a0Karen is a life coach trained by John Maxwell and team, and has been coaching us on building our leader skill sets.<\/p>\n

One of the things I read recently is about being intentional in your personal growth; I define “personal” to include “spiritual”. \u00a0To help achieve this, you need to make a plan. \u00a0One of the things you can do is commit to the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Read one personal growth book per month. \u00a0Pull aside one year’s worth of books and commit one to each month.<\/li>\n
  2. Listen to one personal growth CD or message per week (I would include Sunday service as this…)<\/li>\n
  3. Attend one personal growth<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    I have a library full of books I have not read yet. \u00a0They just keep piling up. \u00a0So, I decide to pull twelve books I am committed to reading over 2012, and invest in really reading and applying what I have learned through these books.<\/div>\n
    But, which ones to choose?I prayed, closed my eyes, and started grabbing…<\/div>\n
    Here’s my list for 2012:<\/div>\n
    January:<\/strong>\u00a0‘Released from Bondage’ by Dr. Neil T. Anderson (wow, what a way to start the New Year!)<\/div>\n
    February:<\/strong>\u00a0‘Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith by Kathleen Norris<\/div>\n
    March:<\/strong> ‘Magazine Writing That Sells’ by Don McKinney<\/div>\n
    April:<\/strong> ‘Crazy Love’ by Francis Chan (one of my all time favorite books. \u00a0I started to put it back on the shelf, but I decided that it was time to read it again.)<\/div>\n
    May:<\/strong> ‘Made to be Loved: Enjoying Spiritual Intimacy with God and Your Spouse’ by Steve and Valerie Bell<\/div>\n
    June:<\/strong>\u00a0‘Tea and Inspiration: A Collection of Tea Celebrations to Share with Your Lord and Your Loved Ones’ by Mary Pielenz Hampton<\/div>\n
    July:<\/strong> ‘Taking Care of the Me in Mommy’ by Lisa Whelchel<\/div>\n
    August:<\/strong> ‘Solid Answers’ by Dr. James Dobson<\/div>\n
    September:<\/strong> ‘Sabbath Keeping’ \u00a0by Lynne Baab (Another book I already read, but worth re-visiting…)<\/div>\n
    October:<\/strong> \u00a0‘Your Money Map’ by Howard Dayton (I might move this one up…)<\/div>\n
    November:<\/strong> ‘Mastering Motherhood’ by Barbara Bush<\/div>\n
    December:<\/strong> Living in Jesus by Marilyn Meberg<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
