Recapture the Wonder
It's not just about maintaining a discipline of reading that is important, but WHAT you are reading. "There are books by the score on the shelves of Christian bookstores... What do they point to? Is it to the nobler and higher and richer truths of God, or is it to more of ourselves?... judging by the titles and content, one would think the Christian faith is all about me and how I feel and what I want... Is your own reading shallow or deep? The wonder that you will find in the shallow end can only be for a child. Swimming in the deep is for the mature. If the follower of Jesus Christ does not mature in his or her reading, the church could end up running the biggest nursery in the world."
"Good reading is like looking for something you have lost and finding it, but in the search finding something else that had also been lost. That is how wonder is constantly replenished."
