Books I read
“EVEN THE MAN WHO TELLS YOU THAT HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN GOD, AND WHO BOASTS OF THE FACT THAT HE IS AN ATHEIST, EVEN HE HAS GOT A SENSE OF GOD.” – D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
in his book “ROMANS,” an exposition of chapter one, the Gospel of God, which I have finished reading just now.
Romans
The book I am reading now is called: “ROMANS,” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, an exposition of chapters 3:20 to 4:25, Atonement and Justification.

“hit the books”
“Just give me Jesus”
“hit the books,” it says in the “bite” magazine, Monday, October 6, 2014.
Three hot-off-the-shelf cookbooks are advertised.
What an encouragement to hit the books. I like that.
Cookbooks are relating to the body. But there are also books that relate to the spirit, the mind and the soul, spiritual books. I like to hit spiritual books.
Here are some of my favourites:
1. “JUST GIVE ME JESUS,” by Anne Graham Lotz
Winner of the Gold Medallion Book Award
2. “Spiritual Depression,” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Its Causes and Cure
3. “Morning and Evening,” by Charles Haddon Spurgeon, DAILY READINGS
That is the book I am reading at the present time in the morning.
4. “SOMETHING MORE,” by Catherine Marshall
The Cross
I like especially the first chapter called “Yes, God is in Everything.”
5. “One Hundred Bible Lessons” by Alban Douglas
Cookbooks are important, but books that relate to our soul and our spirit are more important.
The Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross to save our souls. From what? From the terrors of hell.
AUTOMATIC PILOT
I am glad that it is not only my experience and that it is quite normal. What is now this normal thing that is happening. I will tell you.
Have you also noticed that more of your day or almost all of your day is on automatic pilot?
The daily duties, like getting out of bed in the morning, getting dressed, getting breakfast, making yourself a cup of coffee or tea, going to work, coming back from work, doing the dishes … Is the list endless?
That is quite normal as we get older. We retain less, the experts tell us. For one thing that are everyday old experiences. Also we know them well. We should pay closer attention, but we don’t.
