PM Notes: Top 10 Essential Books

Below is my Top 10 List of the most influential books that I have read over the last 10 year.  (FYI: I did not include the Bible or the Lutheran Confessional Writings in the list, for those are 'givens.') The following list are books that substantially impacted my epistemology and my ministry.  May they be a blessing to you as they were to me.

5. The Seduction Of Extremes: Swallowing Camels And Straining Knats (Peter Kurowski)
