I confess. I adore books. However, I’m a librarian, and I ascribe to Nancy’s Pearls of Wisdom (found on the Librarian Action Figure box). “Life is too short and the library is too large to ever read a book that you’re not thoroughly enjoying.”

Like Ms. Pearl, I’m ruthless, and if after 50 pages it’s not doing it for me, I stop. Thus I only read about 50 pages of most books.* That includes books about the web. I read a lot of them, and put even more to one side.

It occurred to me that you might find it helpful to know which books have my seal-of-approval. So I’ve done a new Bookshelf page for this site, culling out the best-of-the-best for those of you who like books and want to create a great website for your congregation or faith.

Do you have any particular favorites? Books I’ve overlooked? Suggestions? I’m all ears.

*Footnote: If you are over 50, Nancy Pearl’s further Rule of 50 can be invoked. “Subtract your age from 100 – the result is the number of pages you should need before deciding whether or not to continue on.”
