It was raining and I dived into the library, where I saw the very interesting flyer with pictures advertising The New Zealand Book Month 2008 – September.

Very good pictures, I thought.

There was a person sitting at a table in front of piled up books ready to devour them. You could only see the shoulders, arms and hands. The right fist was hanging on to the knife and the left fist to the fork. Near the right fist was a glass of wine.

Another picture showed a beautiful toaster toasting a book.

The writing on the pamphlet fascinated me also, ” Check out these succulent samples of winning New Zealand writing, sure to satisfy your appetite”. “Kiwi taste sensations”. “Savour New Zealand’s Top 75 Books of the year”. “Top 25 tasty bites”. “Top 25 meaty meals”. “Top 25 on the kids menu”. All about eating!

A good many people are famliar with the story in Matthew 4, the temptation of the Lord Jesus Christ. They remember of course straight away the Words of our Lord, “MAN DOES NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD”. Matthew 4:4

Our Lord is quoting from Deuteronomy 8:3. – Old Testament.

I say it again: BUT THE BIBLE IS REAL FOOD!
