The Power of Books…

Books are powerful.  I believe books are one of the GREATEST resources used for our personal and spiritual growth.  Think about it God chose to use a book, the Bible, to be the greatest resource we have to know Him.  Books are significant.  Reading is growing.  It is watering the seeds of potential within us.  The more we water those seeds the greater they grow into mighty trees.

I have a confession to make, I HATED reading growing up.  You couldn’t have paid me to read a book.  However, a friend of mine was telling me about a book he was reading and how it changed his life.  He sold me on the idea so I went to a local bookstore picked up the book, reluctantly, and it sat around collecting dust for a bit.  Finally, one day, I picked it up and started reading it.  I was BLOWN away! I couldn’t put it down.  I grew more in that one book than I had the previous 19 years of my life ALL combined. I went from 2 mph in my growth to about 60 mph in one book.  God used the book to shape me, speak to me, and inspire me in a powerful way.  I then couldn’t stop so I picked up another book and it did the same thing.  Now I am not saying that every book will impact you like it did me, I think God just directed me so I would believe in books so much.  But the first 3-4 books I read set me on a journey that I didn’t even know existed.  Up to that point I figured you just grew because of experiences, I didn’t realize I could intentionally grow at warp speed personally and spiritually.

American philosopher Mortimer Jerome Adler said,

“In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.”

Books are to the mind what nutrition is to the body, which we all know is really important to keep us healthy, that’s why many people decide to follow a diet from sites as https://reportshealthcare.com/what-is-the-price-for-nutrisystem-plans-per-month-week-and-month/ for this sole purpose.  The more you get great  books in you the more healthy you become in your personal and spiritual life.  You may not be a heavy reader but I would encourage you to rethink your plan for personal growth and make sure you are getting a STRONG dose of great books in  you.  If you want to accelerate your growth and knowledge you MUST READ.

Reading has impacted me so much over the years I began to write.  The first book I have written now has been selling great.  God has been using it to go out all over the country and I am so excited about it.  I believe the message in the book is one that will impact lives in a powerful way.  The book comes from years of learning from my journey of life.  I would be honored for you to get a copy and let it inspire you to grow and become who you were created to be.  The book is, “The Worship Revolution“.  It is a book about getting back to the roots of who you and I are called to be…a worshiper.  The books is about living a life of worship to an amazing God.  It is a call to rise up and become part of a revolution for Christ.  You can purchase the book in PRINT or EBOOK @ The John Barrett Company.  I hope it takes your personal and spiritual growth to a new level.
