In our local paper, The Northland Age, Thursday, November 27, 2014, I read last month that the founder of Duffy Books in Homes, Alan Duff, had some hard-hitting advice for the children in the schools, this time for the students of Pompallier Catholic School.

Pompallier Catholic School in KAITAIA

He told the pupils that if they decided to have no interest in books, that they would be failures in life.

He said also that if they decided that reading was not for them, they were making a conscious decision to be failures.

And here are his own words:

“If you had a chance to read and didn’t use it, bad luck. You’ll end up in a stupid job.”

The Bible is a book. In fact the Bible is THE BOOK OF BOOKS. The author of the Bible is the Holy Spirit.

What hard-hitting advice do we have for people who have decided that they don’t have an interest in the Bible, who have decided that reading the Bible is not for them?

Please let me know!
