How to Prioritize Reading

Reading

“…we each have a limited number of days in our lives (Psalm 90). The brevity of life requires that we limit our priorities. Are you still waiting for the time to read? You may need to stop doing something else.” - Tony Reinke

I agree with his point that it is helpful to read multiple books at a time. This is something that I refused to do for many years, thinking that I would make less progress. I found the opposite to be true, just as he suggests. The fact is that there are times where I can’t concentrate enough to read a deep theological work and that’s when something light really helps. Right now I’m reading “Can We Trust the Gospels?” And “Don Quixote.” Different times in the day I am more ready to read one over the other.
