This book was rather ho-hum. While I can see possible merit in considering list making from a Christian perspective, it felt to me as if it was a subject better treated in a few blog entries instead of a book. The book felt as if the author was trying to stretch a simple concept, making lists, into being just about everything you need to help your life, spiritual and otherwise.

But, unhappily her text, her examples of her own lists, and her suggestions for list topics tell me more about her and her preoccupations than about how to make lists to help me.

Perhaps this book will speak to you. It didn't speak to me.

This book really goes into the different types of lists we all make. Personally I make lists and then only get about halfway through them if I'm lucky. More often then not I completely forget about the list and don't ever go back to it.
Make a list also really opened my eyes to how I can make different lists that aren't just about what I need to do. I can't wait to make some of them as well, especially ones dealing with my fears and anxieties and how I can help out in the world.
I loved seeing all the prompts and I plan to return back to this book as the year goes and work through the prompts and learn more about myself and becoming more aware of things around me.

I grew up watching my mother organize her life (and our family's life) by making lists, and I also have always used lists as a way to sort through the chaos that sometimes makes up my life. What a surprise and a delight to stumble upon this book, all about making lists! Reading felt like coming home in many ways, but I also learned so much about the process along with many different ways to enhance my own list making. The author teaches and shares many ways that lists are ways of: loving, learning, listening, praying, and letting go. I particularly loved reading some of her own lists and the stories that she tells about how they came to be, and how she used them to grow and transform her own life.

I requested this book based on the blurb expecting a self-help type book. This is a Christian based book that is more of a faith reader than self help. Because of this disconnect between blurb/expectations and the content, I did not finish the book.

As soon as I read about this book, I knew it was for me. Already, I'm a list maker. I just love lists. They are practical, easy and give you that immense satisfaction that comes with crossing something off of it. However, as this book will teach you, lists can sometimes even, just a little bit(or maybe even a lot a bit) help you find yourself. I cannot recommend this book enough,

The book offers a really effective way of simplifying am increasingly complex and fast paced life.. Although many have rejected the simple 'to do' list as a poor tool to use, using lists themselves can lead to more clarity and simplification in a chaotic life. I think it is a great thinking tool, and a starting point for many things. The area where the book fell down a bit was it was too over personalised, and I felt myself trying to understand another life (alien to me) rather than trying to apply the lists to my own way of life. But the idea is very good and overall it is a very good book from an educated and interesting author - thank you.
