A Christian perspective on the joys of reading

In today's technology-driven culture, reading has become a lost art. With smartphones offering information at the tap of a finger, reading a book is often seen as a tedious and outdated activity. Christians are not immune to this problem, as many find it hard to read books - even the Bible - consistently and attentively. Recovering the Lost Art of Reading addresses these timely issues by exploring the importance of reading generally as well as studying the Bible as literature, giving practical suggestions along the way. In this helpful guide, Leland Ryken and Glenda Faye Mathes encourage a new generation of readers to overcome the notion of reading as a duty and learn to see it as a delight.

The right way to approach literature

An exposition of the right way to read the great works. And the right way being the Biblical way. Focuses mainly on literature (as opposed to other works such as history, biography or science). Content is excellent and I can say this is a book that will change my life. The male narration however was extremely painful just to listen to him. The female narration in contrast is excellent and the redeeming feature of the audio version. Needless to say I am reading the hard copy of the book and it’s a shame the audiobook version is so bad as I’m loath to listen to it again.
