If you had to choose one particular category of book to read, which would you choose? Maybe a biography, sci-fi, crime, health, Christian, historical, mystery, travel…
Why have you chosen that particular category of book? Maybe for information, to learn, entertainment…
Having now chosen you type of book, if you were then told you could only choose one specific book from that category, what book would you choose?
The book I would choose would depend very much on what kind of mood I was in at the time I had to choose the book. However if I was informed that I had to choose one book, and that one book was the only book I was allowed to have for the rest of my life, would that influence my choice of book? Of course it would!
I’d want to choose a book that inspires me when I feel lost; makes me laugh when I feel like crying; gives me direction when I feel lost; shows me how to improve my life when I feel like I’m stagnating; I’d also want a book with a good story.
Now the big question…what book fits all of the above? I’m sure there are many book which fit one or two of my desires for my “one” book, but how many are there that satisfy all my desires for my book?
I think there is just one book that fit my wish list…the bible!
The bible my fit my requirements, but would it really be my book of choice if I actually had to choose one book…to be truthful, I’m not sure that it would be…and that concerns me as a Christian.
I pray God will strengthen my faith and belief, so that should the day come when I have to choose only one book to keep for the rest of my life, I will choose my bible.
