If you know me, you know how much I love to read. I am always finding new treasures…yesterday, I finished a book called The Holy Spirit is Not for Sale by Grady… a great critique on Pentecostalism and Christian leaders in general.
Holy Spirit Is Not for Sale, The: Rekindling the Power of God in an Age of Compromise
My staff is helping me update the library of books I have read (Click Books, then Britt’s Books on the menu at the top of this page), and I thought it would be helpful to share some general thoughts on how I read as we work on these updates.
Study Tips
Because I view books as tools and reference works I take copious notes in them while I read. You know, like congruent thoughts I am having or revelations or cross references to Scripture or whatever. I also use tabs to keep track of topics, quotes, thoughts, points, or facts that I may want to refer to later. I do this with everything I read. It really slows the reading down, but it makes the book a more effective tool in the future. Let’s say I am preparing a message on prayer and I remember something Charles Spurgeon said in Lectures to My Students
