The Love and Power of God Through Books.

"Except a living man, there is nothing more wonderful than a book-a message to us from the dead, from human souls whom we never saw, who lived perhaps, thousands of miles away, and yet these, in those little sheets of paper, speak to us, amuse us, terrify us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers.....I say we ought to reverence books, to look at them as useful and mighty things. If they are good and true, whether they are about religion or politics, farming, trade, or medicine, they are the message of Christ, the maker of all things, the teacher of all truth" Kingsley.
