KEEP READING!!! That statement has nothing to do with my post or anything else I write. It has everything to do with the need for everyone to continue growing. The best way for that to happen is to keep reading. At this moment I have about 5 books I am actively going on my Kindle. Some are for fun but the others are for deep study. Why am I talking about this today? A friend of mine asked me about a book that he was about to start reading. I told him that I had read it at least 3 times and listened to it on audio a few more times than that. He was surprised that I had read it that many times but I liked it and grew from it.
So why keep reading it? Because like everything else the more you do it the more you get from it. When I finished seminary a few months ago I decided to take a break from reading. I mean, after 7 years of college and seminary books I figured my brain needed a break. Wow, was I wrong. I realized that I was missing something when I stopped reading. I was missing growth. So here is what you can take from today... find a book... read it... and then find another one.
By the way, the book that my friend and I were talking about was The Shack. If you haven't read it, I recommend it. There is something simple about the book that makes it nice.
