In June I finished a 3,000 page reading challenge which covered a larger number of books. Leaders are learners and I enjoy learning from a variety of sources especially in summer. Here is the list:

- 336+320 = 656
- The Gospel Next Door (250)
- 656+250 = 906
- That’s Not How We Do It Here (176)
- 906+176 = 1082

- 50% done with Simply Good News by N.T. Wright (105) as of June 30th 2016
- 2998+105 = 3103
While this was a fun challenge. I doubt it is something I can repeat volume wise especially since I entered June with a vacation/study week which I did alot more reading than usual.
So for July 2016 here is my challenge which will focus more categorically than by volume:
- 2 books on Healthy Relationships
- For me this will be a marriage book
- 2 Leadership books
- One of my Favorite categories to read from
- 1 Biography/Memior
- I really can’t recall how long it has been since I read a book in this category but we learn so much from the lives of others.
- 1 Book Written Before 1900
- I usually only read newer books but challenging myself to read some older classics.
- 1 Psychology/Sociology book
- Again another favorite category of mine especially psychology.
- 1 Fiction Book
- I usually don’t read much in this category but challenging myself to read more from this category.
- 2 Additional book in any categories
- For me this will consist of something in discipleship, missional living or spiritual formation.
Feel free to join in on this challenge! If a page goal is easier this should be closer to 2400 pages for July.
Enjoy it brother!
