Choosing my books for the new year....

Charles Spurgeon counseled his students to be discriminating about what they read, and to bathe in good books "until they saturate you." He said, "A student will find that his mental constitution is more affected by one book thoroughly mastered than by twenty books merely skimmed."
While my goal of 36 books for the year is a good goal...I am not only convicted to ensure I make good choices but to make sure that I am a learner and not just a consumer of what I read.

That's definitely a good goal. I hit somewhere around 20 last year, and always wished I had more time for it. Good luck on your goals in 2009 -- nothing but luck and happiness your way! -- Tommy
