How a week works

Every week has one book. Each weekday takes one idea from it, in order, so by Friday you carry the whole book with you.

  1. MonThe big idea
  2. TueFirst principle

  4. ThuThe mistake it fixes
  5. FriThe practice to keep
  6. SatThe week on one page, with a verse to reflect on

Why I send this

I have spent 35 years as a minister and coach, and the people I have watched grow the most share one habit. They keep learning, a little every day, and they put what they learn into practice.

Most of us do not have time to read a book a week. Five minutes over coffee is enough to carry one good idea into the day. That is what this brief is for.
