One of my favorite things to do is to read, and so I read a lot—about 100 books a year, for a rough average of two a week. Lest I devolve into a full-fledged book snob, however, I’m reminded of the wise words of John Wesley: “Beware you be not swallowed up in books: an ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.”

If we had to choose between loving and reading, we’d certainly do well to choose the former. My hunch, though, is that the discipline of reading widely and well is a crucial part of loving God with our minds and loving our neighbors as ourselves. Here, then, is where my reading journey has led over the years.
