Too Many Novels

September 7, 2008

I have done too much light reading in the past—too many novels.
Although interesting and well written, they take up too much time,
and are too absorbing. They induce a disrelish for more substantial
reading. And they also have a tendency to dissipate the mind and
take it off from more solemn things.

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk. 1 Peter 2:2-3

Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long! Ps. 119:97

There are many books, said John Newton, which I cannot sit down
to read. They are indeed good and sound—but have a great quantity
of pages, compared to their insignificant value. There are some silver
books, and a very few golden books; but I have one book worth more
than all, called the Bible—and that is a book of priceless gems!
