Alan Jacobs Quotes

We Should Affirm The Great Value Of Reading Just For The Fun Of It ... In My Experience, Christians Are Strangely Reluctant To Take This Advice. We Tend To Be Earnest People, Always Striving For Self-improvement, And Can Be Suspicious Of Mere Recreation. But God Doesn't Just Create, He Takes Delight In His Creation, And Expects Us To Delight In It Too; And Since He Has Given Us The Desire To Make Things Ourselves - Has Allowed Us To Be "sub-creators," As J. R. R. Tolkien Says
we May Rightly Take Delight In The Things That We (and Others) Make. Reading For The Sheer Delight Of It - Reading At Whim - Is Therefore One Of The Most Important Kinds Of Reading There Is.
