My Goal To Read 52 Books In 2017

David Joannes

I’m readingΒ a book per week in 2017. Here’s why.

They say that the world’s top CEOs read over 50 books per year to keep their mind inspired and on the cutting edge of leadership and innovation.

After completing my first book, The Space Between Memories: Recollections from a 21st Century Missionary, I know that I need this kind of input and brain juice! I’m already penning the initial pages of my next book and I need more inspiration. Plus, I need the leadership skills required to lead Within Reach Global, the non-profit Christian organization that my wife and I founded.Β 

So this year, I will read a book every single week. Here’s how you can help.

Here are the books I have just finished:
