One of my goals for 2012 is to read 52 books (one per week). Below is my reading list for the first quarter of the year. I know I won’t agree with everything written in every one of these books, but if I only read writings of authors with whom I agree 100% on tertiary issues, I would become myopic and dull.
I can’t promise, but will try to briefly review each book here on my blog. If my schedule allows, I will do this to serve as a resource to you. After reading a book, I always compile all highlighted sections and file them accordingly in evernote so I may use the information as a resource in the future with greater ease in my filing system. I’ll post a couple of examples of how I do this . . . hopefully it will help some fellow preachers of the Word to become better prepared.
