Don't Overthink Your Beginning Grammar

Overthinking isn't simply thinking too much but thinking about things in a disproportionate manner. You spend longer than you should on things that shouldn't require as much mental energy. Let's say you want to teach yourself New Testament Greek and you're faced with lots of choices about the textbook you want to use. The fact is, there are a lot of beginning grammars that will get you to where you want to go, provided you apply yourself. These textbooks represent the plethora of right choices, some better than others perhaps, but you're still going to get to your goal regardless of the grammar you use. 

You see, it's less about what you choose and more about how you apply yourself to that choice. We live in a world with just an infinite amount of options, many of them good ones. I never want to give the impression that I think my textbook or my method of teaching Greek is the best. For me it is, but maybe not for others. I'm just a small crouton on a big salad. 

Just make an informed decision and then go for it!
