It has been said that if you read three books on any topic you will become enough of an expert to teach that topic. I know the academics out there are cringing right now. Mostly because they don’t want to admit is that it is true. It also illustrates something. The path to a successful launch of a new direction, skill or initiative in life may be a lot closer than you think.
What do you want to achieve in the next year? What new skill do you want to learn? Who would you like to help? Can you find three books/resources on the topic and commit to studying them and apply what you learn? You might be surprised what can happen in a year.
For me, a couple of my goals this year are to continue to refine my skills as a preacher and to learn the skills of being a life coach so as to apply that knowledge to the arena of personal discipleship. How am I going about it? My first step for both areas includes the selection of three books on each topic that I am going to read and seek to apply to my situation.
What about you?
