I hope that throughout the course of every life, people learn the value and joy of sitting down with a good book. There are so many different ways of escape through them. There are worlds to explore, words to strengthen your beliefs or just confirm what you believe.
You can stop time with a book and take a journey in another character’s shoes. It can be beautiful, scary, cheesy, funny, or amazing. I know that Netflix needs us, and while sometimes television can be an escape, there is a stimulation of the mind that comes from reading a book that excites you.
Maybe you want to listen to a good book; there is nothing wrong with that by any means. Just promise yourself that you will explore the world beyond the screen, and journey through the minds of the past and present as they use a gift not many have: the art of words.
I have listed a number of books I’ve read rather recently. These books are great for all readers, but especially good for Christians young and old. These books are self-help books, books to help your walk with the Lord, fictional books, non-fictional accounts of the power of God, and a few romance novels.
“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
― Stephen King
