Christians must read!

Reading other books should never replace reading the Bible. But reading Christian books is still very important to a healthy Christian today. And you don't have to read a lot of books or even read a lot every day to nourish your soul. Did you know that if you read just a few pages a day, you can read several books a year? Reading just ten pages a day means you can read one solid Christian book a month; that is twelve a year. If you can't read that much then, read a page a day like Don Whitney advised some homeschooling moms to do. (Of course, after one page, you probably will want to read a few more. Half the battle is just sitting down and starting to read. Is anyone's "to-do" list every complete?)

So, after you read and meditate some on God's Word, pick up a doctrinally sound Christian book and read! And also encourage your children at a very early age to read. The world is lamenting that fact that young people aren't reading anymore. Christians can't afford not to be "readers" as Al Mohler points out in this excellent article.
