Start a Reading Group — It’s a Good Decision!

“Reading broadly together will keep me from always being on a new crusade to the bewilderment of Christian friends. The Christian purpose of all of this reading is to glorify God. Reading alone may do this, but when we become passionate about an issue, it is nice to have company. When we had seen things rightly, others can support us. When we have missed the mark, they can correct us. It is gratifying, however, when the new viewpoint which seemed so exciting to me is adopted by others. When I make a new discovery it will often seem implausible for the simple fact that no one around me sees what I now see. If friends travel the same road, all is different.”

Rick Ritchie, quoted in Lit! by Tony Reinke — Book Review
