"Not a 1,000 page encyclopedia of facts but rather a riveting tale, with one story blending seemlessly into the next. In fact, it is all stories, page turning, wonderful stories and then suddenly bam, you have just lived 2,000 years, thank you." Doug Wead, New York Times bestselling author

One Thousand in Spare Change

What would you do if you had $1,000 extra in spare change and you couldn't put it into savings or give it to the needy - you had to spend it on yourself?

Over the past few years I keep thinking about this question for some reason - and my answer would be - I would spend it on books.  

I don't know if my insatiable appetite for reading is realistic.  I always want more books, but I can hardly keep up with reading the ones I already have.  Maybe I also need to wish for more time in my life to read!

Don't get me wrong, I'm also a picky reader - I only want to read stuff that will be deeply impacting and spiritually transformative in my life.  I pick what I read very carefully - and always try to keep my Scripture study and devotions of first importance before other books.  

But I just love a good book.

LL, you sound alot like me. One thing I have done over the years to help keep the correct focus is for every hour I spend not reading the Bible, I add an hour to my Bible reading. Since I love reading so much, it pretty much has forced me to limit TV to about 2 hours a week. LOL I also bought one of the MP3 Bibles. That way I can listen to the Bible through out the whole day to get my hours in.
