Readers Any man who is serious about becoming the spiritual leader God calls him to be will be a reader. If nothing else, he will be a reader of the Book of Books, the Bible. But if he wants to be fully biblical in his use of the Bible he will also be a reader of other books.
Books are a natural and inevitable fruit of the Bible itself.
It is a remarkable fact that God has chosen to reveal himself in language. Although it is true that the best and highest revelation of God is in the person of Jesus Christ himself, God in the flesh, it is also true that the Bible speaks about Jesus and is itself revelation from God. The written Word is thus the heart of the Christian faith. Some may say that the Bible is all that we should read and study since it alone is the actual words of God. Other books are mere human words, they would say.
