52 Books I Plan to Read in 2023





I start the year each year with a list of books I plan on reading. Many of you are long-time readers and know I read 52 books a year. I was able to finish about 60 this year. I'm looking forward to my list for next year. It is a very focused list that focuses on three key areas I'm looking at in 2023: Leadership, Preaching, and Discipleship. So here are the 52 books I plan to read this year (by category). Some are re-reads. Others are first-time reads. But I'm looking forward to revisiting some of these in this season of my life.
