Andy's reading the book Spiritual Leadership and there are some great pieces of wisdom that we're trying to apply. Here was a great quote on reading that I wanted to share by Muriel Ormrod;
It is better that we should always tackle something a bit beyond us. We should always aim to read something different-not only the writers with whom we agree, but those with whom we are ready to do battle. And let us not condemn them out of hand because they do not agree with us; their point of view challenges us to examine the truth and to test their views against Scripture. And let us not comment on nor criticize writers of whom we have heard only second-hand, or third-hand, without troubling to read their works for ourselves... Don't be afraid of new ideas-and don't be carried away with them either.
I think this little book is a powerful tool for anyone trying to 'redeem the time.'
