The Reading Room

Our family loves to read. We know we should read more than we do.Sharing like this might help. It is helpful to share what we read with each other. This is a family blog, but if you have read what we are reading or if you are reading something that would be edifying and constructive for our Christian walk, please feel free to share!

Don't lose your tools!

“Dost thou not mark and consider how the smith, mason, or carpenter or any other handy-craftsman, what need soever he be in, ... he will not sell nor lay to pledge the tools of his occupation, ... for then how should he get a living thereby? Of like mind and affection ought we to be towards holy scripture. For as mallets, hammers, saws, chisels, axes and hatchets be the tools of their occupation, so be the books of the prophets and apostles, and all holy writ inspired by the Holy Ghost the instrument of our salvation”

Thomas Cranmer (1489-1556)
