Bible Note: A Different View........................................ Dear Justme, I agree with EdB that the Bible is the most important book for all Christians to read, and that too few of them spend enough time studying it. However, I would also like to say that I think your idea of a “suggested reading list” is terriffic. You are entirely correct that it would be easy for a person to be led far astray by reading some books in Christian Bookstores. Therefore, I think that it is a great idea for a church or a pastor to put together a list of good books to read for their congregation. This just seems to me to be another way of “shepherding the flock”. There is definately value in many books beside the Bible, and infact, I have mentioned a couple in my personal profile on this site. |
