Mohler Offers Reading Advice

Al Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, discussed the value of reading today at AlbertMohler.com. Reading is something of a passion for Mohler, as is evidenced by the surprising facts he includes in the post.

Al’s personal library, known as “The Bat Cave of Evangelical Christianity” is home to more than 30,000 volumes. It’s rumored that a person could pick any of those 30,000, hand it to Mohler, and and Al could promptly produce a detailed summary of the book (Need proof? Watch the first few minutes of this video).

Al lists six suggestions for more faithful, meaningful reading:

1. Maintain regular reading projects.
2. Work through major sections of Scripture.
3. Read all the titles written by some authors.
4. Get some big sets and read them through.
5. Allow yourself some fun reading, and learn how to enjoy reading by reading enjoyable books.
6. Write in your books; mark them up and make them yours.

Reading is a discipline that can always be improved. How many books have you read in the past 30 days?
