Everyone Communicates, Few Connect by John Maxwell. A GREAT book to challenge you to develop relationships and improve your communication skills through connections.
A Place Called Blessing by John Trent, PhD with Annette Smith. This is a fictional story based upon the principals that Trent teaches in his book The Blessing. It was a riveting story that kept me up two nights in a row with it’s well written story and interesting characters.

Stop Squatting with your Spurs on by Angel Tucker. Angel does a GREAT job of explaining the four different personality types to you in a way that is easy to read and even easier to apply. I highly recommend that anyone who works with other people in any way orientate themselves to the DISC personality system to improve their communication and productivity with others.
Kiss, Bang, Boom by Leslie Lamb. If you have teens you MUST buy this book for them! Leslie has an amazing passion for teen girls and she skillfully writes a book that is real and impacting that they will LOVE.
