Like any good thing, we can overvalue or prioritize reading at the expense of more important things like family, Bible reading, or just having a quiet moment. These are some of the pitfalls we’ve had to guard against. Can you relate? Can you think of others?

* Neglecting Bible reading

* Setting unrealistic goals

* spending money you don’t have on books

* Excusing bad content because it’s well written

* Aalways listening or reading and never just being quiet; strong temptation to always put something on

* Not giving times where your kids can talk to you about stuff

* Reading as an excuse to be antisocial

* Never finishing a book

* Never quitting a book

* Quantity over quality/reading to show off

* Reading all the ‘right’ books but not letting them have any influence on your life
