Compiled by Ron Thigpen,  John T. Edmerson & John W. Edmerson

Reading and learning are cousins that anyone would want in their family. The following books are recommended to bring about greater emotional and spiritual health. At all times, everyone should be in learning and self-developing mode! Choose TWO BOOKS from the 20 listed and let’s blog about what we are learning in 2012. On this blog, we will post book reviews, book insights, growth stories and a listing of everyone that is taking on this challenge in 2012. Just reply to this blog with your book reviews, progress, growth stories and when appropriate, we will update our viewing audience. Grab a partner and let’s do the 2 Book Reading Challenge together. (FYI...In RED are the books that I have chosen to read in 2012. I will share my progress in this blog!)
