“Through Painted Deserts” by Donald Miller

January 2010

This book takes you, as a fly on the wall, into a journey of discovering friendships and all the beauty that can be discovered on a road trip. Miller has a way or writing that make one want to put down the book and go do something. He has a contagious can-do-attitude. This book is an easy, fun read and introduces you to the young Donald. If you are going to choose between the two I would reach for “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years”, but don’t get me wrong after reading this book I want to go hike the Grand Canyon. (Also check out “Blue Like Jazz” yes, I love how this guy writes!!)
A fun read.

“Stuff My Dad Never Told Me About Relationships” by Patrick Dodson

“Stuff My Dad Never Told Me About Relationships” by Patrick Dodson
If you have been in a relationship, are in a relationship, or are thinking about ever being in a relationship you will find this book insightful. You may find yourself shifting a few of your paradigms at times and other times trying to figure out how it relates to your current situation. Patrick has this ability to explain issues in a whole new light. This book also contains some great questions you should be asking before you say “I do”.
I was a fan!

“A million Miles in a Thousand Years” by Donald Miller

December 2009

If you are looking for a book to inspire you and show that you are more capable than you think read this!! Donald is a prime example of how the most unlikely person can accomplish big things by simply starting. He takes you on his journey of discovering how to write his own story and inspires his readers to do the same. Experiences are shared of how families where brought back together by being intentional and start asking the right questions. Do you find your life to be an adventure? If not, pick up this book and discover how to start living.

Easily one of my top ten favorites!

2010 Goal

In the last year it has been discovered that this adrenaline seeker is also quite fond of reading. While one can not always bring along a dirt bike, motorcycle, rollerblades, or a slip-and-slide, a book can easily tuck into any bag. So if you find yourself comfortably in your bed at home or on a beach in some foreign land, a book can always be close at hand. Ok so that was really cheesy but lets be honest i’ve said much cheesier things but we digress….back to the matter at hand.

My goal for 2010 is to read at least one book a month and post a short review of each. Why should you care? If you desire to join me in my endeavor the book for each month will be posted here and we can discus along the way if you want to add comments or ask questions.

Or if you would like to make a suggestion on what should be read or even mail me a book

I look forward to our discussions
