It should come as no surprise that the sacred books that we read and recommend have a distinctly Christian world-view. That being said, we may recommend a book that does not strictly align with all our beliefs. Or, we might like an author's opinion in one book, but not another. Our goal is never to be close-minded about the things we read, understanding that discernment is vital when listening to the voices of other people. So if you come across a thought or assertion in one of these books that doesn't seem to fit with our stated beliefs, don't think of us as hypocrites, just readers who are willing to accept that we won't always agree with everything an author says : ) In fact, sometimes the best advice and wisdom can be housed in unlikely places.

 

Reading exposes us to ideas and concepts that we might not find unless we looked at culture, the bible, other people, and life in general through the eyes of another person. So read. Read often. Read things that are outside your comfort zone. Read with both discernment and also a strong dose of humility. And if you come across a book that you think we'd enjoy, please (please!) share it with us : )
