Good words for a bibliophile

Filed under: biblical studies, bookshelf, church history, spirituality — tothesources @ 10:24 pm

Thomas a’ Kempis’ The Imitation of Christ has good words for me and other bibliophiles:  ”Certainly, when Judgment Day comes we shall not be asked what books we have read, but what deeds we have done; we shall not be asked how well we have debated, but how devoutly we have lived.” (1.3.5)

Hmmm…a good word for the day.
