Top Ten Books read by Pastor Blair in 2020
This year, I read 67 books. (The ‘Shelter in Place’ order obviously left lots of time for reading). Here is my top ten for the year. I have been asked why I do this. I find it helpful to see if a book had a lasting impact after I read it. Putting together a list like this helps me to reflect on what I read earlier and then later- rediscover if I want to read the book again. I hope a few of these will be of benefit to you as well.
