READER OR WRITER?

My friend surprised me when he declared: "I am a reader, not a writer." He was answering my question regarding his retirement plans. I thought that I knew my friend. I definitely felt that he had contributions to make as a writer. His assessment of himself was obviously different from mine.

I have turned this over in my mind for sometime. With this blog, I evidently think of myself as a writer. I too think of myself as a reader. Both/and, not either/or!

But some of us think of ourselves only in terms of a reader. You may be one of those persons who is most comfortable with a good book and not a pad and pencil.

If so, let me share a good read. Remember, I consider myself both/and. The book is entitled Sitting at the Feet of the Rabbi Jesus. It is written by Ann Spangler and Lois Tverberg and published by Zondervan. The subtitle, How the Jewishness of Jesus Can Transform Your Faith, describes best what the book has to offer you. You will find it in most bookstores.

Happy reading!
