#1Book1Week July 2020

Here is my July #1Book1Week list. In Lit: A Christian Guide to Reading Book (I recommend this book!), Tony Reinke points out that “the immediate appeal of visual entertainment is at odds with the gradual unveiling of literary treasure. Entertainment is passive and easy; books require an active mind and diligence. Books typically get ignored." The fact that books get ignored is the best reason for you to be a book reader. Why? Nowadays, people are the same. Boring. Be different. Not weird (although sometimes people think you are), but intelligently different.

If you're not a reader today, perhaps because you haven't found life-changing books. I believe that once you're a reader, you will always be a reader. This is a good addiction. First, read the New Testament Bible from a modern translation (CEV or NLT) or paraphrase (The Message or The Living Bible), and then explore other books from various topics. Read deeply, widely and critically. Hey, #LetsMakeReadingCoolAgain #ServeToLead #LeadersAreReaders #GrowingLeader 😊⚡📖

THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.

Friendship (1841) by Ralph Waldo Emerson

The book (maybe a booklet? Since its only 55 pages) is old and sometimes hard to read—old English. But the basic idea of this book is this: the two foundations of friendship are 1) Truth, and 2) Tenderness. And if I can summaries it in one word, it will be - love. Yesterday, I spent time with my good friends, and it confirms that these foundations are right and crucial!

Ralph Waldo, a philosopher, and a poet wrote, "The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship." Overall, I think Waldo's ideal friendship is a bit too high and too grandiose. Nevertheless, in today's hyper-connected society, excellent and trustful friends are hard to get. If you have one or two, you're blessed indeed. I thank God for my friends! 😊⚡📖
