Welcome to my “Pastor’s Favorite” section. Here I have compiled lists of some of my favorite books, preachers, recording artists, movies, photographers and photographic locations. For good or for bad, this should help you know me better. Thanks for taking a look!
Favorite Books: I am a confirmed bibliophile. I love books. People who visit my office or home always comment on the number of books I have. I admit it; I have a lot! Here I have compiled a list of some of my very favorite books. I hope the list proves useful to you.
