Sometimes people ask me for tips about blogging. I don’t feel particularly qualified to answer that question even though I do blog a lot. What I can tell you though is the name of the best book ever written about blogging:
“The Way of the Heart
Here are three things I can tell you about this book:
1. It is only 84 pages long.
2. It only costs $9.31 on Amazon
3. I underlined almost every line on every page.
The challenge with a blog is that it tends to make your life loud. It’s easy to put this blog filter on everything you do or experience and I sometimes catch myself with this running, babbling conversation in my head, “Should this go on the blog? Maybe this should? Should it? Is this blog worthy?” You might not experience that but this book’s focus on seeking solitude with Christ really challenges me to put Him first and not my blog.
If you’re going to start a blog. Get this book
p.s. It was written in 1981 so it doesn’t use the word “blog” in it at all but that’s what books written before their time do. Twenty eight years later this book rocks a medium that didn’t even exist when it was published.
