Become a Reading Ninja!

Yesterday, I felt compelled to spend the enormous sum of £1.96, thanks to Michael Bird’s endorsement of Danny Zacharias’s Surviving and Thriving in Seminary: A Practical Guide for the Wide-eyed and Mystified (Kindle Edition). Zacharias has designed the book to be fairly light-hearted (the title of this blog post is actually the title of one of the chapters) and to the point, and it can be read in a couple of hours – I reckon I took just over an hour to go through it, and I wouldn’t describe myself as the fastest reader in the world. There’s lots of good advice in here, especially on how to read, what to read, what software packages to use, and – arguably most importantly – how to manage your time and not procrastinate! If you’re involved in theological education, and if you’re about to enter ministerial college or similar, I recommend picking this up.
