I enjoyed this post of reading pictures and quotes about reading...HERE!
A great article, "You are what--and how--you read"...Here's my favorite paragraph..."In short, we honor God with our reading diligence. We honor God with our
reading sacrifice. If you watch two hours of TV and surf the internet
for three, what would happen if you abandoned these habits for reading
the Bible and the Puritans? For real. Could the best solution to the sin
that enslaves us be just that simple and difficult all at the same
time? We create Christian communities that are safe places to struggle
because we know sin is also "lurking at [our] door." God tells us that
sin's "desire is for you, but you shall have mastery over it" (Gen. 4:7). Sin isn't a matter of knowing better,
it isn't (only) a series of bad choices—and if it were, we wouldn't need
a Savior, just need a new app on our iPhone."
Another great article, "Three Reasons To Diversify Your Reading"...my favorite point, "Reading more broadly allows you to have another connection point with
non-Christians that helps you to have meaningful discussions (whether at
work, the gym, traditional or online book clubs or Starbucks) that can
also lead to opportunities to share the gospel." Amen!! Enough with hiding in the Christian bubble...POP!
This is interesting...about how much time people of various ages spend reading. I admit I was surprised by this data. But, I also have a question...Is any of the "screen time" data actually screen reading time? I read ALOT on my ipad...which is technically a screen. Just sayin'...
