STOP AND THINK – I read a book one day and my whole life was changed. (Orhan Pamuk, Nobel Prize-winning Turkish writer)

In our fast-paced life, it is often difficult for us to find time to read, yet many of us can remember the stories we read as a child and how they entertained and enlightened us. To lose the benefit of the knowledge of the ages that is stored in books is to lose an invaluable resource. The only caution: pick books that are wholesome and challenging.

Keep this Book of the Law [the Bible] always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. (Joshua 1:8)
