One of the things I enjoy most in life is reading a good book. Over the years I have purchases thousands of books. I read them, mark and index all the best material and they become a precious preaching resource. However, my sometimes expensive habit of constantly buying the best books can be a source of irritation for my wife. So I do have to watch how much I spend on these “tools” for my ministry. But yesterday God did one of his surprising blessings. A local minister is downsizing and he dropped off 12 boxes of his books that I can go through and keep whichever ones I want! Wow. It’s like Christmas! Honestly 2012 has been a tough season of life and ministry, I appreciate when God sends me those little reminders that he cares about me.Â
