I Love Books!
Books are a lovely addition to life! I love books that invite me to travel to other lands, times, and adventures. Or inspire me to grow closer to my Beloved Savior, Jesus. I love to curl up with a good book or read aloud with my children. Even my oldest daughter, who is a college professor, loves to reading aloud.
God has revealed Himself through His Precious Son, Jesus and through His Word, the Holy Bible. The Bible is completely trustworthy, inspired by God, and infallible. If you have never read the Bible, I heartily recommend that you read it every day, a chapter or two. I pray first and ask God to teach me and help me to grow closer to Him. Then I read. He always gives me something to hold on to and I am always learning new things, even though I have been reading the Bible every day since I was 16 years old.
I love reading other books too! Nothing replaces reading good books, great works, living books, classic literature. Literature and great works have shaped who I am, my dreams, and my ambitions. If you have never taken the plunge into reading great books and classic literature, I invite you to take the plunge and feed your soul!
