What if we viewed reading as not just a personal hobby or a
pleasurable indulgence but a spiritual practice that deepens our
faith? In Reading for the Love of God, award-winning author Jessica
Hooten Wilson does just that--and then shows readers how to reap
the spiritual benefits of reading. She argues that the simple act
of reading can help us learn to pray well, love our neighbor, be
contemplative, practice humility, and disentangle ourselves from
contemporary idols. Accessible and engaging, this guide outlines
several ways Christian thinkers--including Augustine, Julian of
Norwich, Frederick Douglass, and Dorothy L. Sayers--approached the
act of reading. It also includes useful special features such as
suggested reading lists, guided practices to approaching texts, and
tips for meditating on specific texts or Bible passages. By
learning to read for the love of God, readers will discover not
only a renewed love of reading but also a new, vital spiritual
practice to deepen their walk with God.
