Just a short “in the mail” post today to share five reviews you can expect to read here in the coming weeks and months:
- First Raise a Flag: How South Sudan Won the Longest War but Lost the Peace (Oxford University Press)
This book just arrived in the mail yesterday. Some years ago I read a few books on the Rwandan genocide, and have had occasional interest in African history. Time to reactivate that interest and learn more about what’s been happening in Sudan. (LINK)
- The 13.1 GoneForaRun running journal
It will be hard to top the Believe training journal I use now, but this one looks good so far. (LINK)
- Old Testament Hebrew vocabulary cards
I learned Hebrew using these more than 10 years ago; now the Basics of Biblical Hebrew suite from Zondervan is in a new edition, so I’m re-learning with the updated cards. (LINK)
- A sweet leather wallet from Galen Leather
It holds a pen! Cards! A notebook! Money! (money sold separately) It looks, feels, and smells amazing. (LINK)
- Harvard Business Review’s new book, Why Do So Many Men Become Incompetent Leaders? (and how to fix it)
I just finished the book yesterday, so will probably post about that next. (LINK)
I want to borrow that book about incompetent men becoming leaders. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this.
Sounds good! I can give it to you this summer. In the meantime, the original article that led to the book is here: https://hbr.org/2013/08/why-do-so-many-incompetent-men
