    1. I subscribe to C. S. Lewis' suggestion of reading old books. This can seem intimidating, but I have often found that the older authors are easier to understand than the modern people who write about them.

    2. Good thought Mike. I have found new books to be helpful too.

    3. Certainly wouldn't avoid them. Anything you read gives you new perspectives. Especially if they are not advocating what you always believed.

  2. I agree Mike. Just read a book by Randy Alcorn titled Heaven. I did not agree with a lot of what he wrote but felt that he gave me something to think about.
