christian living on Books

Beware you are not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.

That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.

A book can teach you, a conversation can assure you, a poem can seduce you, a genius can inspire you, but only you can save yourself.

The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.

The difference between the right word and the almost right word, is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.

Make careful choice of the books which you read: let the holy Scriptures ever have the preeminence.
