I have always loved books. As a little girl many Golden Books were read to me. When I could read, the Bobsey Twins was one of my favorites and I actually still have it. As I got older I came to love mysteries, still do. I so enjoy getting lost in the world of Agatha Christie or maybe Mary Higgins Clark.
Then I was introduced to C.S. Lewis and my eyes were opened to the world of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Of course, I’ve read many of his other books which always need a friend to discuss them with. I love the fact that they make me think, I mean really think.
So since I’ve spent a massive amount of time at home the last nine months, like the rest of you, I’ve read all kinds of books. Most of the fiction I read on my Kindle. Non fiction, I prefer to hold on my lap with a highlighter handy for the quotes I want to remember. Right now I’m reading Irresistible by Andy Stanley, it’s really making me think. I like that!
Honestly, many of the books I’ve read are on my book shelves or in a box. I really don’t refer to them much when I finish reading them. But the one book that I read most every day and refer to is my Bible. It’s my go to book. It encourages me, points me to my Savior, gives wisdom, and it makes me think.
I encourage everyone to read your Bible and find a friend and discuss all the truths that are there.
