Resources from Recent Speakers

Over the past couple of years, we have had a number of KIROS speakers who are also authors. Listed below are the speaker, book, and (date of book). Books are available online (except for the one from Uli Chi, which is available from KIROS as a PDF). For two recent speakers (Mark Canlis and Dave Hataj), Seattle Pacific University has made a film of their story, and the link for the films is shown. As well, past KIROS talks are available via audio or video at kiros.org/media. We hope you find these resources helpful on your journey.
