"Those who read will never be lonely" somebody has reportedly said. Also, better mental health is said to be a common result of the love of reading. Whether these are true for everyone is debatable, but for me they surely are.
I am currently reading several books (this works by having at least one book in each room), but one has captivated me in spite of the time it demands. So we will call it the Book of the Month: BONHOFFER by Timothy Keller and Eric Metaxas. The biography of this outstanding German preacher with a unique love for Scripture and who boldly expressed courageously his opposition to Hitler is more than a worthwhile read. Since the story culminates with his execution, we are brought to a realization that there are people in the world who are willing to express their faith even in the face of death.
A big thank you to Mark and Terry Wallis who each recommended this book about the same time.
