I read a lot, and the older I get, the more I read. I enjoy reading, and I read a variety of kinds of books. I just finished a Louis La’Mour western. I read one of his books two or three times a year. I have read them all, but I don’t remember the first ones I read, so going through them a second time works. I just started reading Moby Dick because I read an article that said it was one of the top five books ever written. I read technical books on how to do certain things. I am reading several books on how to catch halibut in Alaska right now. I am also reading a book on boat building.
I read many Christian books on living the Christian life, Bible doctrine, and commentaries on the Bible. I read many books on leadership and success, both Christian and secular. I also read books on how to teach better, how to grow your church, and how to succeed in business. I do a lot of my reading while I ride my stationary bike. It is a recumbent with a small table attached so I can set my iPad on it and read while exercising. The cool thing about reading on my iPad is that I can make the font bigger and set it to scroll down at the rate I read, so I don’t have to touch it. Proverbs says to seek wisdom like gold and silver, and I can’t think of a better way to seek wisdom than to read good books. Of all the reading I do, my favorite book is the Bible, and I spend at least thirty minutes reading it every day. It is the ultimate source of wisdom and motivation. The Bible is the Word of God, the mind of Christ; it is living and supernatural.
