FIRST BOOK: Chase The Lion, (5 keys to look for while reading)

Welcome to A Chapter A Day!

The first book we will be diving into will be Chase the Lion by Mark Batterson

Some things to look into when reading any book;

1. Treat the book as a companion for growth, not as a tool to be used once and put down. Don't just "see" the material but continue to come back to refresh our thoughts.
2. Look at the book as a leading/teaching opportunity. After reading a chapter or something that strikes as important, teach that specific quote or passage to someone close to you so it will be retained in your mind.
3. Start a List. Begin to compile a list of all your favorite quotes that tug at you while reading, this will not only get you engrained into the subject of the book but also help retain those quotes for future use in a situation where you can lead/teach someone.
4. Growth Mindset. Explore different books that have hard subjects that you may not necessarily agree with by doing this you may better educate yourself. By educating yourself, you can then better make an argument for your point while also experiencing their point of view.
5. Meditate. This one may sound weird and it probably is. I have been meditating over the past months and it has a great effect on how you are present in your life. In our technological age, it is hard to take time away to read a book for 30 min or even read a blog post about a chapter in a specific book. By meditating you learn to live in the present and block out distractions.

These are the 5 things that I will be doing while actively engaged in any book that I read. Tomorrow we will begin with chapter one in Chase the Lion see you then.
