“Who is the author of the book?” I am very likely to ask if someone mentions the title of a book to me which I have not heard before.

The fact is that I spend a lot of time reading. And twice I read lately about people who could not put a book down.

THE FIRST TIME was when I was reading one of our newspapers:

The book review in the paper was called, “Couldn’t put this book down,” and the reviewer said that it was the best novel she had read for a long time, and that she could not put the book down.

THE SECOND TIME was when I read the publication called TUPU WHAKARANGI, the official magazine of Maori Postal Aotearoa, Issue 230:

There was the story of a prisoner in the magazine, who could not put the Bible, the Word of God, down. An amazing story in fact!

ONCE the Bible was meaningless to him.

BUT NOW he could not put the Bible down.

Physical food did not mean to him very much. When he went for meals he ate very quick, in order to get back to read his beloved Bible. At around 2 am he was still reading the Scriptures, and not only some of his fellow inmates, but also some of the officers were wondering what was going on with him.

For me to know the author of a book is more important than to know the title of the book. And do I need to tell you that the authors of novels and all the other books are humans and that the author of the Bible is the Holy Spirit?
