From “The Purpse Driven Life” by Rick Warren
One reason most books dont transform us is that we are so eager to read the next chapter, we dont pause and take the time to seriously consider what we have just read. We rush to the next truth without reflecting on what we have learned.Dont just read this book. Interact with it. Underline it. Write your own thoughts in the margins. Make it your book. Personalize it! The books that have helped me the most are the ones that I reacted to, not just read.
Or, in my case (since I will be sharing my copy of the book with Alison, I plan to journal the most personal thoughts and blog the others, along with the questions so that others visiting here can benefit.
