I'm ashamed to admit that it has been awhile since I read a good book. My habit is typically to begin several good books at once and struggle to finish most of them. I'll then get into a kick of reading for awhile, get several good books under my belt, and then fall off the wagon again (on the wagon? never could get those straight).

So, my current read has been refreshing. It's a book called Integrity: The Courage to Meet the Demands of Reality (How Six Essential Qualities Determine Your Success in Business) by Dr. Henry Cloud. It is a book I am reading for work - one of our three core values: Character, Competence, & Integrity. It's very practical - straightforward. I'd also say, from what I've read thus far, although it is geared for business professionals it is something that transcends roles. This is something that is going to help me as a minister, as a parent, as a spouse & as a friend, as well as a business professional.

I'll give my Cliff Notes version highlighting some of what liked best whenever I am finished. Good recommendation if you're looking for that next book to read.

As as side note, my wife is going the Classics route. Having finished To Kill a Mockingbird she is now tackling Gone With the Wind.
