Helpful reasons from the Metropolitan Tabernacle:Gains of Christian reading- when united to a sincere devotional life
Readers are far better equipped for serving the Lord as witnessing Christians, shepherds of others, or teachers in any department of the church.
They will be ‘bigger’ people whose minds are far more alive, active and awake through their entire lives. Intelligence and mental energy will be stimulated and will continue growing, continuing bright and sharp into old age. Regular reading enlarges the ability to think, and increases powers of expression.
Readers help their churches to withstand false teaching so that they do not fall prey to the avalanche of errors of these last days. Would you be an anchor in the church? Christian reading boosts discernment.
Readers are greatly helped in deep trials and barren times because they are given a clear view of how God deals with His people, seeing them through to victory.
Check out the Met Tab's own book shop. I recommend a bit of Spurgeon!
