I agree with Tim Keller, “I read because I’m desperate.” While reading by itself will not make one a better leader or follower, reading well will improve both. Yet, even then, one must take the knowledge and allow it to change his/her life. Read purposefully.

Book: "The Preacher and The Presidents" by Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy
This-is-a-great-read. If you appreciate biographies and American history, you'll appreciate reading about Billy Graham and his relationship with Presidents Truman through George W.
I've read many other biographies and stories of these Presidents and this preacher, but Gibbs and Duffy have done an excellent work in bringing this important story to those that will take the time to read it.
Further evidence that Graham wasn't just a great leader, but a courageous follower. Here is more evidence that Graham truly wanted to bring the gospel to everyone he could, to disciple, to baptize, and to teach others to observe all that Jesus commanded.
Even in times of trouble, and mistakes.
What a great read!
