January Reading 2021

I always seem to find myself in a pull and push with reading more. Reading is cathartic for me, it always has been. It also forces me to slow down and gives me the space to think about things.

I’ve been satisfied with around 5 books a month, so that puts me inside a place I feel comfortable with. With all of that, here are the books I finished in January of 2021. I read every one of them on Kindle, and it is getting interesting shifting over to totally reading digital.

My buddy JR Forasteros is the author of the fantastic book Empathy for the Devil. Last year, after preaching a sermon about the devil, I had JR on another podcast to talk about his book and some of the ways he feels we learn from the stories of villains in the bible. I wanted to replay it for you here on SIWTS.
