The best way to learn how to be more intentional is by other's examples, both reading and watching.  I'd say that roughly one third of what's helped build my philosophy of ministry are the books I've read. There's not one definitive book on being intentional, but different books help shape different areas of our lives (i.e. church, evangelism, discipleship, prayer, family).

If you've read one of the following books or you have a book of your own, it's time to share your thoughts.  Also, if you're ever interested in guest blogging here at Intentional Christianity by writing a book review you can email me at andrewsblogging [at] gmail [dot] com.
