The only ones that I really keep are ones that I will reread or reference. Sometimes I read a book and think that it should be a good one for someone else and I give it to them. .-= Jeff Howard´s last blog ..<a href="http://outontheporch.blogspot.com/2009/07/interview-with-josh-rosenthal.html" rel="nofollow">Interview With Josh Rosenthal</a> =-.

He likes it for novels and light reading but for research or books that he might somehow use in preaching, he still likes a real book. So, since I'm a major reader too, we have books everywhere. Even our kids have overflowing book shelves in their room. But I think it is good for them. I love to hold a book. Write in it. Turn down the pages. And have a working library of my own. I send books to friends all over the place. .-= Lori´s last blog ..<a href="http://leadingandlovingit.wordpress.com/2009/07/01/a-handful/" rel="nofollow">A Handful</a> =-.

I can buy books and place them in my study and never read them. I hope that anyone that you interact with or wants you for a pastor will get to know you and not look at the surface. If you are worried about it you can keep a list of your books read on your web site. The nice thing is you can even write your own reviews with links to the book for people to try out. You don't have to be in your office pointing at a book. It is out there for everyone to get to and see. Books don’t make the man. I can buy books and place them in my study and never read them.

Books are great to have, until you have to move them. A box of books could be used as a foundation for a new house, based on the damage they can do to one's back. I've personally been going through a de-cluttering process. Technology items like a Kindle will hopefully help with the book space. Maybe future books could have an option to download an electronic copy for a small fee. Books, just like the Gospel, are meant to be shared. If they're sitting on your shelf for years, they've lost their true value. Blessings on your day, and holiday weekend! Agree on the wishing Amazon had a trade-in program.
