10 Books I Consistently Share With People
Because they have the potential to change your life
I read a lot. Anywhere from 15 to 30 books completed in a year. Sometimes more. Because I read a lot, people will ask what I’m reading or what I would suggest.
The first time asked me what I would suggest, it was very surprising. For some reason, I never thought my opinion mattered. However, it seems to help from time to time, so, I thought I’d share it with you too!
After all, we could always use another book added to our reading list!

10 Book Referrals
Honestly, I could probably give you more, but I don’t want to overwhelm you. Plus, these are books I have read over and over again too, so I’m good for it on these ones.
The Art is Work by Jeff Goins
I have read this book every year for the last four years. Each time I learn something new, discover something about myself and am challenged to chase my dreams. It is probably one of the author's best books he has ever written.
Living Forward by Michael Hyatt
This is another reference book for me. In fact, this book was originally a PDF the author gave away in his blog. Since those days it has developed into a way of life for me. And I have adapted what I learned as my own.
Capital Gaines by Chip Gaines
Yes, the book by the hard-working, super goofy husband from the show Fixer Upper. In this book, I learned some really important lessons for my life that I take with me every day. And I feel I can relate to him, except I don’t flip houses for a living.
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
This was the first Christian book I ever read after becoming a Christian and it taught me a lot. It also made me challenge what I thought of Christianity. Lewis challenges me to question the things most Christians believe without question.
Keep Your Love On by Danny Silk
Not a well-known book for sure, this one has helped me learn to process my emotions, have proper boundaries with relationships, and learn to create a better connection with my family and friends.
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
I never really understood why writing could be so easy and then so hard at times. This book is a cornerstone for any writer who is trying to take their work to the next level. It is an easy read, but it is very deep.
Getting Things Done by David Allen
This book helps me over and over again since the first time I read it more than ten years ago. If you ever wanted a productivity system that works, this is the one. Since then, I have changed mine up a little bit, but I always find good things in this book.
Strengthen Yourself In The Lord by Bill Johnson
This is another book I keep going back to on a regular basis. I have found so many helpful things for me during this year and will likely keep coming back to them. If there is a challenge in life, this book will help.
Stepping Up by Dennis Rainey
Such a good book for men to read as it touches on every aspect of life for men. The author looks at the early years of life all the way to our elder years and gives such great insights on how to live as a man. Not full of machismo, but full of insightful thoughts to the man’s soul.
Productivity Success by Jack Heimbigner
Okay, okay, I know, this is my book, and it's kind of cheating. Except it's not. Whenever someone struggles with productivity I point them to my book. In fact, I lent out my book to several people in my office, before we all started working from home. It's good and worth reading.
Final Thought
I could go on and on about books I would suggest to you. In fact, these are only non-fiction books. I have lots of fiction books I would suggest too, though, maybe that will be a future post.
What I want to focus on is that all of these books are books I come back to over and over again.
I’d be interested to hear what books do you come back to over and over? Do you read them every year? Or just whenever you need something from the books?
