Mom Reads
There are a lot of really good books available but the process of finding them can be a little overwhelming; and then there is always the frustration of wondering whether or not you can trust the source. There is also the issue of time. And what about those of us who aren’t “into reading”?
We considered all of these things when compiling our Classic 12 Book List. This list is full of engaging, easy to read books advancing the ideas and principles of liberty. Just by reading and discussing one book a month, at the end of year, you will have a firm understanding of the values and principles that promote and sustain liberty. But we warn you, you’ll get hooked and want to read more. So, we’ve included several additional books to consider when you finish those first 12. We’ve compiled a list of discussion questions you can use to spark discussion in your Book Club. DOWNLOAD DISCUSSION GUIDE
