Is The Bible Worth Reading

This work, Is The Bible Worth Reading,  is simply 108 short quips and quotes on different subjects. Note the title of the work comes from the 1st of these sections, and the entire work deals very little or almost nothing with bibliology. The quotes cover all subjects related to Christianity.

Note from Editor: Please forgive me, but this work’s original title had nothing to do with its contents. I am renaming this book to something more descriptive of its contents.–David Cox

In this 13 chapter work by Alnatt, he presents us with some considerations of people in the ministry dealing with their own position in the ministry (prayer, fasting, meditation, intercession) and their relationship with their people. Frankly I believe this author is Catholic or Anglican, and the concept of “priest” is very apparent, but even so, it is not so strongly Catholic as to make it useless.
