J. Oswald Sanders on Reading

By on 31 October, 2007 | Comments (0)

He helped his people learn to love books and led them into progressively deeper and weightier spiritual literature. The result is that a number of farmers in that district have significant libraries and thoughtful faith.

More ministers should try to lead in this way, guiding the church toward intelligent reading and larger, more committed, more resilient faith.”

Taken from Spiritual Leadership, p. 107.
