But no worries!  We asked Pastor Tim for his recommendations, and he has selected three of his favorites.  All three books are best sellers, so get ready for a great read!

The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon

About the Author

Jon Gordon is a highly sought after global influencer who inspires millions of people each year with his books, talks, podcasts, and messages on positivity, teamwork, and leadership.

Book Description

“Monday morning and George walks out of the front door to his car and a flat tire. But this is the least of his problems. His home life is in shambles and his team at work is in disarray. With a big new product launch coming in two weeks for the NRG-2000, he has to find a way to get it together or risk losing his marriage and job. Forced to take the bus to work, George meets a unique kind of bus driver and an interesting cast of characters who, over the course of two weeks, share the ten rules for the ride of his life. In the process, they help him turn around his work and life, saving his job and marriage from destruction.

The Energy Bus, an international bestseller, takes readers on an enlightening and inspiring ride that reveals ten secrets for approaching life and work with the kind of positive, forward thinking that leads to true accomplishment at work and at home.

Everyone faces challenges. And every person, organization, company, and team has to overcome negativity and adversity to define themselves and create their success. No one goes through life untested, and the answer to these tests is positive energy—the kind of positive energy that consists of the vision, trust, optimism, enthusiasm, purpose, and spirit that defines great leaders and their dreams.”

This is not simply a self motivational book or a personal development book; it is so much more. It simply contains 10 principles or ‘rules’ to live and lead by. Everyone should read this book at least twice.
