If you read Tabletalk magazine or if you are a regular reader of this blog, it will come as no surprise to you to hear Keith Mathison confess to being a bibliophile. In his contribution to this month's issue of Tabletalk he writes, "According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a bibliophile is 'A lover of books; a book-fancier.' Although this is a helpful definition, I'm not entirely sure I want to refer to myself as a 'fancier' of anything. I'm from Texas. We either like something or we don't. We don't 'fancy' things. It's...unnatural."
He may not fancy books, but he cannot deny that he loves books and, even more so, that he loves to read. In this article he writes about his growing love of reading, how the Lord used reading as a means to draw Keith to Himself and how his passion for reading changed as a result. He also offers just a couple of words of advice for those who are similarly captivated by the printed word.
