These resources are tools that we suggest. The books are listed by the type of atmosphere we find the most helpful in order to process the information. For instance, the nightstand category are books that are on the lighter side of the spectrum while those listed in the library section are books that require some effort to read and wrestle with. These resources are not at all exhaustive, nor are they all required, simply these are just books that have impacted our lives and we hope you will consider as well.
