Earlier this week a friend of mine asked me if I could suggest a book or two that he could purchase for his boss. I rattled a few off and told him I would e-mail him a few others. Then I had an idea…why don’t I share my all time favorites.

So, here I go. I have listed a few books in four categories; Business, Leadership, Christian living and miscellaneous. The books in bold would make great Christmas presents. Enjoy!
