Weekend Bookend: Special Edition

In honor of my husband's birthday last week, Kurtis is sharing some of reading list. While we both share a love of reading, we have pretty different tastes when it comes to what books we pick up. He loves economical and political readings; I on the other hand enjoy a good novel, especially historical fiction. I also find a lot of gems among young adult authors. Where we do crossover is in Christian living and history. Enjoy these picks from K-man!

Currently reading:

"The Millionaire Mind" by Thomas Stanley

 

This is a book on those millionaires you wouldn't suspect. How can you be rich? It's all about living within your means. Not living above your ability and investing smartly. I've always said (and seen said) that you do what's important to you. 
"I don't have time" just means that it's not high enough on the priority list to "have time" for. If we want to be rich, no matter what your income level, it's about saving, living under your means, and thus not living paycheck to paycheck. The first book (The Millionaire Next Door) was better as this one repeats itself, but both help you understand how to be a wealth accumulator. And wealth isn't a big house and nice cars, but financial security.

Next Up:
"Michael Jordan: The Life" by Roland Lazenby 

I got this book as a Christmas present and have put off reading it because of the length and school. But I'm ready to dive in. I think it's all the more appropriate with talk of Lebron approaching Jordan heights, though I doubt it. It's possible with the physical skills, but we've gotta see those rings. 

Happy Birthday Kurtis!

Happy 29th Birthday to my best friend, my champion, my love! I hope you have a wonderful day!
