“Nothing beats a good book” is an article in the local paper today (Thursday, August 26, 2010) with a picture. In the article I read also about  the demonstration of “The power of the written (and well-read) word…”

It is all about celebrating Library Week!

I sort of  overlooked Library Week in spite of picking up a bookmark from last year in the library not long ago advertising Library Week. Library Week was last year from  10 -16th August. “Escape, Explore, Discover” is written on the bookmarker.

The reason for not taking much notice of Library Week is probably that I have Library Week every week. I am surrounded by books in our own house. I love books and I read everything I can get my hands on…….

I own many good books.

I looked up ‘Good Book’ in The Collins Concise Dictionary and it says there that ‘Good Book’  is a name for the Bible, the Word of the Living God.

And this is now my own experience:

For a long time the BIBLE was for me like any other book, but when I became a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, the BIBLE became alive for me. True followers of the Lord Jesus Christ have come out of darkness into light, from death into life.

The author of the BIBLE is the HOLY SPIRIT!

“THE BIBLE DOES NOT CONTAIN THE WORD OF GOD; THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD.”
