Harry S. Truman \u2013 \u201cNot all readers are leaders, but all\u00a0leaders are readers<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

I am grateful that my Mom instilled in my brother, sister, and me a deep love for reading.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t have a lot of disposable income when I was growing up, but library cards were free.\u00a0 I still remember loading up the car with books for the week ahead.\u00a0 In order to punish us, often my Mom would just have to threaten to take away our books.\u00a0 I\u2019m grateful that God has nurtured my passion for reading into one of the most powerful ways that I am able to hear His voice.\u00a0 I am careful to read in a way that I think will help me to become more of what God created me to be.<\/p>\n

I take great care to highlight while reading.\u00a0 After I read a book, I always take all of my highlights and type them into\u00a0Evernote<\/a>.\u00a0 This allows me to recall favorite quotes and phrases as necessary thanks to Evernote\u2019s powerful search functions and organizational system.\u00a0 I then take these notes and formulate them into a book review on this blog.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure if anyone else reads these but me, but in the end\u2026I\u2019m the one that needs to learn, so it\u2019s fine if it is just me.\u00a0 At the end of the year, I like to go back through all of the reviews and post a comprehensive list of all the books from the year before.\u00a0 You will notice that the titles of the books are links that will take you to the review I wrote of each book.\u00a0 This year I was privileged to learn a ton from reading 43 books.<\/p>\n
