We contemporary Christians tend to try to satisfy our spiritual and intellectual palates with such coarse fare as may be offered at the local Christian bookstore, or on the "religion" shelf at the chain book outlet, all the while neglecting the vast bounty in our own churchly heritage that would supply far more in the way of solid food for the mature.
[From the Introduction to Reading Augustine: A Guide to the Confessions by Jason Byassee
We need a balanced diet even in our reading; dont' we?
Hi Jason, your post on the Kindle Fire came through on my blog reader, but you must have subsequently pulled it.
ReplyDeleteI have had what is now called the Kindle Keyboard (or something like that) since the summer. Can't get enough of it. And the great thing is that you can get old books free at places like Project Gutenberg. I've read some pretty interesting things... and of course have more to read than I can possibly accomplish!
Just wanted to second your remarks on the Kindle, though, and point out that devices like the Kindle are excellent for the olde stuff!
Maranatha!
