What are you reading this summer?

Monday was the first full day that Chicago Public School students were out of school. So summer is definitely here. The pace has picked up, and the days are long. In the midst of it I hope to carve out time over the course of the summer to do some reading. There are three books that I am hoping to finish this summer. They are...

1) "Disciplines of a Godly Man" by Kent Hughes

The first chapter seems to be setting the stage for a deeper discussion. You can check this book out on Amazon.com at...
