As an avid reader I am always on the lookout for really valuable books which offer "good seeds" that will help me and others learn and grow. Recently I came across a book entitled Lit! A Christian Guide To Reading Books by Tony Reinke that serves this purpose and I encourage you to obtain a copy for yourself.
The author explains the purpose and objective of his book with the following description:
"My book is for any Christian who wants to read books, and read them well. This book
covers a wide range of topics: why we should read books in the first place, how to
choose the best books, how to find time to read books, and how to find joy - not drudgery -
in the pages of books."
Reinke's book is divided into two parts with six chapters in part one and nine chapters in part two. There are two especially outstanding chapters in Part One: chapter three Savoring Books in an Eye-Candy Culture, and How a Biblical Worldview Equips Us to Benefit from Books in chapter four. In Part Two, chapter eight, How to Read a Book, and chapter ten, Too Busy to Read, are well worth the purchase of the book.
The bottom line is that all fifteen chapters (many are short) are all excellent and make this a book worth owning. It is available in both book and e-book format. I hope you purchase the hard copy in order to mark meaningful comments for yourself and to complement your library.
Remember, it's the books you read, the people you meet, the thoughts you have, and the choices you make that will determine who you are becoming.
