I have lists for my morning routines, for my evening routines, for my daily tasks, for the tasks that deviate from my daily routines.  I have lists for packing, for traveling, for reading, for last-minute-wedding-details (imagine that!)  Lisa&#8217;s review suggests that this title is all about checklists and their power to transform how we do things.  It sounds like more of a sociological-type book than a &#8220;how-to&#8221; book (But since I&#8217;m a fan of either, I wouldn&#8217;t mind if it turned out either way.)

It sounds like this might be a good introduction to basic (baptistic) reformed theology (although certainly with Driscoll&#8217;s unique voice.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Videos worth seeing:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A fantastic commentary and animation on how time perspectives affect nations.<br \/>\n<object width=\"560\" height=\"340\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/A3oIiH7BLmg&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/A3oIiH7BLmg&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\"><\/embed><\/object><br \/>\nHT: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.challies.com\/a-la-carte\/a-la-carte-629-1\" target=\"_blank\">Challies.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On bekahcubed Book Reviews: Stardust by Neil Gaiman &#8220;I loved the movie Stardust when I saw it several years back&#8211;and when I discovered that it was based on a book, I rapidly added the book to my &#8220;To be read&#8221; list.
