[BBC List] what is on your shelf?

[Mike Abendroth]

"One thing I noticed about Evangelicals is that they do not read. They do
not read the Bible, they do not read the great Christian thinkers, they have
never heard of Aquinas. If they're Presbyterian, they've never read the
founders of Presbyterianism. I do not understand that. As a Jew, that's
confusing to me. The commandment of study is so deep in Judaism that we
immerse ourselves in study. God gave us a brain, aren't we to use it in His
service? When I walk into an Evangelical Christian's home and see a total of
30 books, most of them best-sellers, I do not understand. I have bookcases
of Christian books, and I'm a Jew. Why do I have more Christian books than
98 percent of the Christians in America? This is so bizarre to me."

'God rides forth conquering in the chariot of His Gospel. . . He conquers
the pride of the heart, and makes the will which stood out as a Fort Royal
against Him, to yield and stoop to His grace; He makes the stony heart
bleed. Oh! it is a mighty call! Why then do some men seem to speak of a
moral persuasion? That God in the conversion of a sinner only morally
persuades and no more? If God in conversion should only morally persuade and
no more, then He does not put forth so much power in saving men as the Devil
does in destroying them.'   Thomas Watson
