Books are written for recording purposes... For keepsake, like this blog... For increasing knowledge, like textbooks... What about fiction books? Ppl read fiction books to help themselves fantasize... Have dreams and visions... Haha... I always like reading non-fiction books, especially biographies... The book 'heavenly man' is really nice... currently, i'm reading John Sung... Finished reading 'Torches of Joy', a book about missionaries to this tribe called the Dani people... How God turned a whole tribe to Himself and even cause them to have a heart of compassion for their neighbouring tribes... Really amazing!!!
The book on the life of John Sung is also WOW!!! He was so smart... Finished his doctorate in such a short period of time... And how he is willing to die to himself, throw away all the degrees and past achievements to serve God... I'm halfway through... but it's really encourages to know how God moved in the people of China in the past to change the future... How he's impacted their lives...
Everytime after reading biographies, i always reflect upon my life... Have I been impacting people so much that I'll leave them a legacy? I always feel that there's so much more I can do and it just spurs me on... Especially the ones on missions... How these people are willing to lay aside all their ambitions and goals they set for themselves to live the God given life. It's just so amazing!!! And inspiring...
So... Have you been reading? Pick up a book today! It's not too late to start a habit now.
