More From Barbara Kingsolver

I was so inspired by dr. king that in 1956 with my brothers and sisters and first cousins, i was only 16 years old, we went down to the public library trying to check out some books and we were told by the librarian that the library was for whites only and not for colors! it was a public library! i never went back to that public library until july 5th, 1998, by this time i'm in the congress, for a book signing of my book "walking with the wind"

Children have to have access to books, and a lot of children can't go to a store and buy a book. we need not only our public libraries to be funded properly and staffed properly, but our school libraries. many children can't get to a public library, and the only library they have is a school library.

As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. are our examples worthy of emulation? do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘i want to follow my dad,’ or ‘i want to be like my mother’? unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.

You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

Reading the bible is the fast track to atheism. reading the bible means starting at "in the beginning..." and throwing it down with disgust at "...the grace of the lord jesus be with all. amen." i'm sure there are lots of religious people who've read the bible from start to finish and kept their faith, but in my self-selected sample, all the people i know who have done that are atheists.
