How to Read a Book with Maximum Impact

I am a firm believer in buying every book that interests you. If you see it on clearance, buy it. If you hear about the next best book or a friend recommends it, buy it. Buy it and put it on the shelf and then wait for the Holy Spirit to guide you to read it. I...
