The Book that reads Me
The Word of God is living and powerful. (Hebrews 4:12)
Author Ronald B. Schwartz asked scores of well-known contemporary writers to name the books that influenced them most deeply. Their responses ranged from the novels of Dostoevsky to the popular stories of Mark Twain. The works of Dickens, Shakespeare, and Faulkner were mentioned many times. But topping the list was the Bible. Why?
Perhaps because most writers want to deal with the "big questions" of life, and the Bible is the ultimate book for life's big questions.... The pages of Scripture bring us face to face with ourselves, with God, and with His grand design for our lives. The Bible, according to the late journalist Malcolm Muggeridge, is "the book that reads me."
