Advice On Reading Dr Lloyd-Jones
|
| As there must be not less than fifty books by Dr Lloyd-Jones currently in print, there is some danger that the most vital among them may be missed. But how is any differentiation possible?

How do you decide which books to read?

How do you decide which books to read?
1) Largely from other people's recommendations that are within the scope of the kinds of things I want to or have time to read.

What Do We Read?
|
| Despite the appallingly low level of literacy in the land at present, we in the UK are still a nation of readers.Television, computers, videos and the like have not yet ousted the old-fashioned habit of reading. The charge "Give attendance to reading" (1 Timothy 4:13) is as relevant today as when Paul sent it to his young helper. The question
is, however; What do we read? |
