Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

C. S. Lewis on Doctrinal Books

I believe that many who find that ‘nothing happens’ when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.
