Index Books For Reuse
- Read with a pencil and index key ideas in the book's front flap for quick retrieval.
- Use tiny notes with page numbers so insights become usable for writing, preaching, or teaching.
Reading To Fuel Creation
- Piper reads primarily to create: sermons, books, and teaching, not just for private pleasure.
- That creative impulse changes how he captures and preserves what he reads.
Carry A Field Notebook
- Keep a small field notebook beside your chair to capture sparks the book produces.
- Jot ideas quickly so reading can directly feed your own writing and teaching projects.
