David Mays’ Book Notes on hundreds of books are outstanding and a GREAT way to learn, quickly.
If you’re like me, you have a list of 100 books you want to read and concepts you want to figure out.
David pulls out quotes and main points from each book. For me it’s been a great place to easily copy and paste quotes from some of my favorite books.
Those in ministry can subscribe to his weekly notes for free (you get an email when he adds a new book).
Some notes from great books to get you started (because the list is pretty overwhelming):
JI Packer — Knowing God
David Platt — Radical
Dan Roam — The Back of the Napkin
Seth Godin — Tribes
Neil Postman — Amusing Ourselves to Death
Andy Stanley — The Next Generation Leader
Alan Hirsch — The Forgotten Ways
Shane Hipps — Flickering Pixels
Jim Collins — Built to Last
Chip and Dan Heath — Made to Stick
Tim Keller — The Reason for God
Tim Elmore — Habitudes
Andy Stanley — Making Vision Stick
Andy Stanley — Communicating for a Change
Thomas L Friedman — The World is Flat
Get ESV Bibles for $1 (if you order 240). Great to have to resource students to give to their friends (CCC staff- this is half the price of ordering through the FSK site). HT: Justin Taylor.
Random Tech Tip that I’m really excited about:
This will literally save me years of my life.
Don’t you love how you can zoom in on pretty much any window with the keyboard shortcut ‘command +’ or zoom out by pressing ‘command —’Â (photoshop, safari, preview, etc)?
Don’t you hate how you have to manually click on the ‘zoom’ dropdown box to get a dumb Microsoft Word page to zoom in or out?
Here’s how to fix that:
In Word, Go to Tools –> Customize Keyboard
Select the category ‘View’ on the left
In the ‘commands’ list, select ViewZoomIn
Place your cursor in the textbox next to ‘Press new keyboard shortcut’.
Press a combination of keys – I just did the standard command +
Make sure in the ‘Current keys’ box that you are not overwriting something important (you’re not — unless you use the superscript shortcut a whole bunch — or alternate hyphen shortcut for zoom out)
If you’re happy with the shortcut, click on ‘Assign’
Repeat the same operation for ViewZoomOut.
(thanks to Google search and this link for delivering me from this frustration with Word)
