The Importance of Reading

A good word.

Albert Mohler:

Reading is an important Christian discipline. Further, growth as a Christian disciple is closely tied to the reading of the Bible, as well as worthy Christian books. This is why the Christian church has championed the cause of literacy.

Do our own young people read books? Do they know the pleasures of the solitary reading of a life-changing page? Have they ever lost themselves in a story, framed by their own imaginations rather than by digital images? Have they ever marked up a page, urgently engaged in a debate with the author? Can they even think of a book that has changed the way they see the world . . . or the Christian faith? If not, why not?

AMEN. For a guy who has over 1,200 volumes in my library, I guess you could assume I like to read. This book below, has been a good resource for me on how to be a "smart" reader.

All the best!
