As I explained in a post on my other blog, I have a reading list. The list is organized by month. Each month has a different theme. I try to read books and articles in that category each month.
It's a system that works for me. I don't actually plan what specific books I'll read. I just read what's in that category for the months, and looks good. The cycle starts over every September. Also, I should note that this list IS in a particular order.
SEP: Evangelism
OCT: History
NOV: NT/Luke
DEC: Preaching
JAN: Lutheran Confessions
FEB: Other Religions
MAR: Prayer
APR: Pastoral Theology/Pastoral Ministry
MAY: Old Testament
JUN: Worship
JUL: Gospel of John
AUG: Christian Lit. Classics
Like I said, this list and this reading plan works for me. Other pastors have different systems which work for them. What, if any, system do you use?
Is blogging even a thing anymore?
