“The trashy lives of most people are the fit outcome of the trash which they read. A life fed on fiction is a life of fiction; a life fed on divine fact will become a life of divine fact.” - (Charles Hadden Spurgeon)

“When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.”        - (Erasmus)

"For my own part, I tend to find the doctrinal books often more helpful in devotion than the devotional books, and I rather suspect that the same experience may await others. I believe that many who find that "nothing happens" when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand"  - (C. S. Lewis)

Note about the above quote: Of course, Davies is using the word "entertain" in an older sense. It appears to be the ninth definition offered by Oxford English Dictionary: "To engage, keep occupied the attention, thoughts, or time of (a person): also with attention, etc. as obj. Hence to discourse to (a person) of something. ... 1692 Br. Ely Answ. Touchstone A v, I hope I shall neither tire the Reader, nor entertain him unprofitably. 1748 Chesterf. Lett. II clxxiii. I have so often entertained you upon these important subjects." The Compact Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (1971), vol. I, p. 876.

The "HUMMER Mp3 Player and txt file Reader"  - "I bought mine in 2001 and it is still Running."

Picture
This is a photo of the mp3 player recorder and ebook reader that I use.  I have downloaded the Rockbox.org software for this Archos Jukebox Recorder 20GB.  It is remarkable that a person can read comfortably on this 8 lines of text screen.  I find it easy to read just about anywhere.  If I hit the off button once and then a second time to power down it remembers the exact page I was on when I navigate and select the same e-book again.  You can get these pretty cheap on ebay.  Probably $50 - $75 dollars.  It is the best mp3 I have ever owned.  I have swapped out the 20GB hard drive for a 100GB drive and packed it full of sermons and music.  Click here to learn how this is done.

Spurgeon on Reading...

As the apostle says to Timothy, so also he says to every-one, 'Give yourself to reading.' ... He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own... You need to read. Renounce as much as you will all light literature, but study as much as possible sound theological works, especially the Puritanic writers, and expositions of the Bible... the best way for you to spend your leisure is to be either reading or praying."
