What I found was that after reading it the first time, God has guided me to adopt some of the habits from this book but for a different purpose: managing a volunteer scheduling application that I've been working on for some time. I, too, have been challenged recently to spend more time in the Word, though, so I'm adjusting my reading schedule more. A morning Bible Study just isn't enough of the Word at times :) Thanks for your comment! Larry, I’m re-reading a business book called the 4 Hour Work Week.

I've recently gone through the same doubt. While I do need to spend a greater fraction of my time directly with scripture, I'm also definitely wired to learn, grow and even worship through book reading. One I'm currently reading is Spiritual Pathways by Gary Thomas, which talks about the very different ways we respond to God, whether as a naturalist, intellectual, ascetic, etc. Another that's challenging me *big* time is "Present Future" by Reggie McNeal. So what is the book you're re-reading?! ;) James – thanks for this post, it’s an encouragement. I’ve recently gone through the same doubt.
