Over the past four years, we have offered books as gifts and as suggestions to our parents. Part of the application process includes reading one of our suggested books and critiquing it. At the new campus we will have a Parents Bookshelf where you can borrow a book and share a book. The list below is our most popular reading list. Please let me know if you’d like to borrow a copy of one in particular. Enjoy, enjoy!
