Old Erich Proverb - Prison
It is a narrow prison to have your thinking stuck in your own time period.
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.
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.
Great thought Mike. How do you think we can best get unstuck?

DeleteGood thought Mike. I have found new books to be helpful too.
DeleteCertainly wouldn't avoid them. Anything you read gives you new perspectives. Especially if they are not advocating what you always believed.

ReplyDeleteI have read that book. I would agree.
