In this episode, Denise and Sam discuss Principle #4 - Drink Deeply From Good Books, Especially the Bible. Bill Bennet states, “Life is about continuous learning. If you’re not learning, you’re not living. If you’re wasting your learning opportunities, you’re wasting your life. Reading is one of the most learning-intensive activities you’ll ever do. It doesn’t matter if you’re reading poetry or a great novel or a Shakespeare play or a book of history or biography-it’s going to be a learning experience. It’s going to enrich you and make you wiser.”

Here are some tips that will help you become a more effective reader

• Schedule a daily reading time, preferably an hour a day or more
• Be a discriminating reader
• Keep books handy wherever you are
• Don’t just read books; Interact with them
• Furnish your home with good books
• Set aside a portion of your vacation time for a reading sabbatical
• Share your reading experiences with other enthusiastic readers
• Use what you learn
• Widen your reading horizons
• Encourage reading in others, especially the young
