Books, books, and “The Book of Books”

TAKE TIME TO READ THE BIBLE:  The Bible is “The Book of Books.”

He called it the second flood.

I don’t know why, but something like that I remember him saying. The man was talking about the many books everywhere, and that was long ago.

And it is just like a flood.

The first second-hand shop we visited in Kerikeri, about 100 km from Kaitaia, yesterday, had even lots of good and expensive books for FREE outside. (It was a really beautiful day!) I love books and we have a good number of books at our home. I see many books in second-hand shops, and I would like to buy them and take them home; but then I remember the many books at home I have not read properly.

“SO MANY BOOKS SO LITTLE TIME”, it says on the bookmarks I picked up today at our local library.

And then I am also thinking, what about all those many, many books all over the places? The fact is that we only need one book! Is not everything summarized in the Bible, “The Book of Books?” The Bible is also called “GOOD BOOK”.

In the Bible it says in Ecclesiastes 12:12, easy to remember, “Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.”

Did I not read long ago and remember something like this that someone went  to preach the Gospel abroad and discarded all other books he had and only kept the Bible?
