Quotes on the value of books.“The person who desires to grow spiritually and intellectually will be constantly at his books.” Oswald Saunders
“One of the acid tests of a really fine book is that while you are reading it you put it down and start to think.” A.W. Tozer
“After studying the challenge of world evangelism for more than 50 years, the only plan I have that would result in the fulfillment of the Great Commission is a literature distribution ministry.” Oswald J. Smith (Canadian pastor)
“Reading on wise and virtuous subjects is, next to the Bible and prayer, the best improvement of our hearts. It enlightens us, it calms us, it collects our thoughts and prompts us to better efforts.” William Law
“ Paul is inspired yet he wants books: he has been preaching nearly thirty years, yet he wants books: he has a wider experience than most people, yet he wants books: he has been caught up into heaven and heard things which it is unlawful to utter yet he wants books: he has written the major part of the New Testament, yet he wants books.” Spurgeon on 2 Timothy 4:13
“If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth is not diffused, error will be. If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his work will gain the ascendancy.” Daniel Webster
