A few years ago a young lady was reading a book. She found it very dull and boring. Losing interest, she put the book back on her bookshelf. It lay forgotten for several months.
One evening she met a young man. She liked him and became very interested in him. When he told her his full name she exclaimed, “Why, I have a book at home whose author has the same name as yours!” She told him the name of the book which she had found so boring.
The young man replied, “I wrote that book.”
That night the young lady sat up until the early hours of the morning reading the book. The book which she had found so boring and uninteresting a few months before was now very interesting, because now she knew and loved the author.
How often people think the Bible is dull and uninteresting, because they do not know its Author. The only way to know Him is to accept Him as Saviour. When they realize what a wonderful Saviour they have, they find that His Book, the Bible, is a living, wonderful Book.
