Kaleidoscope

This blogspot is for the thoughts of readers of good and bad books, books that have changed your mind and focus. The beauty of reading is the personal travel that takes place without limits and without danger and yet has all the adventure of a Safari in Africa. Movies tend to clutter your mind with sight and sound that is not of your own mind. I have found that the adventure into the inner castles of the mind are without parallel in all of the techology of this age.

I recall the movie "84 Charing Crossing" an Ann Bancroft oldie, which intrigued me but the reason escaped me 'till I grew up to own a bookstore then I instantly knew the reason for the intrigue.
I will bring you on this adventure through books on my website, some you have read some you
need to read. www.cornerstone-unlimited.com

Now before I share my book of the month I want to impress upon you that The Bible is the Best
collection of books ever written; much maligned, much degraded and most intriguing. It is the only book that will protect your mind in this mind controlling world. Read Ephesians 6 ... about the whole armour of God. Just read The Bible daily - never mind if you understand this passage or that passage... just read it. The Word will be a Lamp unto your feet as It promises. Try to remember, The Word is an answer book. If you don't have a question the answer will be meaningless. It is like one of those quiz books that has the answers in the back. If you just read the answer to Question # 2 you would scratch your head and say that makes no sense. Just wait, the day will come when the unspoken question is answered in Luke 18 or Galatians 3, etc. The "WOW" will be heard in the corridors of heaven and the angelic host will say, "She/He got it!"

Book: "The GREATEST THING in the WORLD" by Henry Drummond. This Classic has been reprinted with a wonderful mini-biography of Henry Drummond. You will learn a bit about this unusual man who was a scientist, a minister, a complicatedly simple, forthright man with the strength of his convictions somewhat like the apostle Paul who wrote the 13th chapter of Corinthians, that famous "Love" chapter quoted so often and yet he is perceived to be the tough old unloving man of faith. This is considered the oldest sermon on that chapter and I consider it the best, then the book gives you the sermon and 12 translations of 1 Corinthians 13 and as you will see Love in any language is the same. Lastly, the book includes other writings that have not been easy to find (at least not to my knowlege) which are stirring and comforting and most of all beneficial to the growth of your/my spirit. Thats it! I do hope this, our little journey, was not a waste of your time. I hope to see you back again, for another journey of the Mind through the Words. In "The Abuse of the Adjective," Drummond warned that the English language was losing its grandeur and becoming flippant due to the "piling on" of adjectives. I pray I have not dimmed the grandeur. In His Service.
