What's on your "bookshelf"?

One of the things you will hear from the Serving Strong Blog and Coaching Services is the importance of staying fresh and relevant in your service activity.  A key method for accomplishing this vital aspect of service is what I call the "bookshelf".

This isn't just a library of books, but a collection of resources that you use to stay on top of your game.  Here are 4 parts of the "bookshelf":

1. Spiritual Growth.  What are you reading that augments your #1 relationship (you & God)?
2. Current trends and culture.  Where do you go to help you understand the ever-changing culture of your "span of care"?
3. Ministry/Service skills.  How do you reinvent yourself so that your skills are fresh and new?  What do you read?  Who do you talk to?  Where do you get your own continuing education?
4. Hobby.  Everybody needs to get away occasionally.  What do you do?  When you are not serving, are you engaged in a favorite hobby or interest?
