The Bible is like no other book. It was written by God. Through it Jesus Christ speaks. It gives life to the dead, wisdom to the fool, joy to the heart and light to the blind. It instills reverence for life and righteousness to the sinner. It is more precious than gold. It satisfies the deepest longings of the soul. It protects from danger and points toward reward. It discerns error and removes blame. It gives us the words and thoughts that please God. Psalm 17:9-14] It is a story of love, an armory of weapons and a treasury of truth. It brings hope in sorrow, strength in battle and perfect peace at death.
Now we have in our hands truth that is so glorious that it powerfully electrifies our heads and wonderfully satisfies our hearts. And so we say with John Wesley, "O give me that Book At any price, give me the book of God I have it. Here is knowledge enough for me. Let me be homo unius libri a man of one book]."
