He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.

If we want to know the Glory of God, if we want to experience the beauty of God, and if we want to be used by the hand of God, then we must LIVE in the WORD of God.

The best advice I can give you: Look unto Jesus, beholding his beauty in the written word.

The best things that have been written, almost, are by Catholics during the counter Reformation: Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis de Sales, John of the Cross, St. Theresa of ?vila.....great stuff.

I read on my iPad when I travel. I listen to audiobooks in the car. I read books in my bedroom, where I have a comfortable couch, a lamp and two dogs to keep me warm.

Everything that occurs in our confused mind we can regard as the path.

Each truth about God known by the mind is a new motive for loving Him with the will.

The Bible is written for the rough realities of life, the nitty-gritty of the here and now.

Do not expect to master the Bible in a day, or a month, or a year. Rather expect often to be puzzled by its contents. It is not all equally clear. Great men of God often feel like absolute novices when they read the Word. The apostle Peter said that there were some things hard to understand in the epistles of Paul.

People who disregard the Bible may someday get what they want—a society where the Bible is no longer read or proclaimed, and where they can freely sin without Scripture confronting their conscience. But they may get more than they bargained for—a society without the moral compass of Scripture will self-destruct from moral decay and decadence.

People no longer rely on the Bible as either their standard for living or their source of truth. In fact, few people even bother to read it anymore.

God's promises are like the stars; the darker the night the brighter they shine.
