Looking at the bookshelf crammed with books, I remembered the advice my old pastor had given me once: “You should read a lot, especially the Bible, but also seek to soak yourself with wisdom from others. A good book will make you grow. They are like mines,” he had said to me, as he fondly caressed the book in his hands. “Mines full of riches. Each chapter is a like a showcase that is hiding treasures, waiting for someone to discover them.” I glanced at the book spines, trying to make out the titles.
