Overview:

Jeff Crosby sets out to show readers how reading shapes our spiritual journey and he does a fine job of it. You will be caught up in his short chapters with a meaningful quote at the end of each one as well as a list of recommended books. Crosby explains in a beautiful way reasons to read, what to read, why we should step out of our reading box and take a chance at genres we have never encountered. As a pretty prolific reader myself, I was astounded at the amount of books he recommends that I have never read. My list has definitely gotten much longer and yours will, too! Don’t miss World of Wonders.
