Books can be wonderful companions. Through reading, we not only entertain and inform ourselves, but we also learn to better understand the world around us. However, reading can also influence our way of thinking and, consequently, the way we act. Therefore, while developing the habit of reading is important, it’s even more crucial to be discerning about the content we choose to consume.
Books that draw lessons from the Bible are a great spiritual investment. In fact, the Bible was the first book ever printed in large quantities and remains the most widely read publication in human history. Its significance lies in the fact that it was inspired by God Himself – to teach, correct and guide us.
Such books serve as practical guides to develop and strengthen our faith, clarifying Biblical passages and making them more accessible and applicable to our everyday lives. They offer guidance that encourages real-life changes and promotes a deeper communion with God, spiritually edifying the reader.
