Well, sorry about that and here is our first guest post written by Rebekah McKenzie!
Lit! A Christian Guide to Reading Books
By Tony Reinke
I reordered this book, something I never do, and spent the next couple weeks wondering if I had blown $11. The reviews were great but then they always are.
What had caught my eye was the questions the book promised to cover: Do you need help finding time to read? How do I prioritize what books to read? Is reading non christian literature a waste of time?
The book, a mere 200 pages, opened with a funny story and a promise of short chapters and a helpful overview and I was optimistic, I started to read and was impressed.
Tony Reinke has written this short book of advice in two main sections 1) A theology of reading books and 2) A collection of practical suggestions for reading books.
His insightful advice is practical and will challenge even the best readers to select, read, think about and share the written word more proficiently.
This book is a great tool you should use in your endeavor to become a mature Christian who knows, loves and reflects The Word.
"Christians can read a broad array of books for our personal benefit, but only if we read with discernment. And we will only read with discernment if the biblical convictions are firmly settled in our minds and hearts. Once they are, we have a touchstone to determine what is pure gold and what is worthless."
