When people ask me what I do for a living, sometimes I reply, “I teach people how to read.” My paid vocation is to train graduate-level students to be faithful and fruitful pastors, and that requires the ability to read well. But it’s not just graduate-level students who need tips on how to read better. Any literate Christian—from high school students to scholars—can improve, and I aim in this book to help you take your reading to the next level.
