Giving Important Sometimes
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.
Bible Book Men
Living men are bound by time... thus, their lives have an urgency. this gives them ambition. makes them choose those things that are most important, cling more tightly to that which they hold dear. their lives have seasons, and rites of passage, and consequences. and ultimately, an end. but what of a life with no urgency? what then of ambition? what then of love?

If you need counsel, start with the one who is both counselor and king - the one who is the source of both wisdom and power.
