Inklings & Intentness <\/em><\/strong>(the only “I” word I could find for passion)<\/em><\/p>\n

A Passion for Books, By Terry Glaspey: Editor Harvest House<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Book Review by Nan Rinella<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Terry Glaspey is having an affair-with books. He has a passion for them.<\/p>\n

“I came late to a love for books,” Glaspey writes. As a child, he was addicted to TV but it left him empty. What was missing was a sense of wonder that could best be met by books. This love, when it came, came with a passion.<\/p>\n

They<\/em> say that the most precious things are found in the smallest of boxes. This wee tome is a grand treasure in a tiny package-a sprinkling of gems from the Great Books. I savored every moment of my read. It was like indulging in a box of gourmet chocolates, tasting each morsel, letting it melt in my mouth, and wanting more.<\/p>\n

I can only describe this book in terms of feasting on it-not devouring but relishing. Like a rich chocolate (can you tell I’m a chocoholic?) mousse sprinkled with luscious nuts and dried fruits, and presented like a work of art. It’s a beautiful gift book artfully designed with prints, portraits, and chuck full of delicious quotes from the greats.<\/p>\n

C.S. Lewis: “No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which in not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Glaspey refutes computers doing away with printed volumes. He cannot imagine climbing into bed with a computer or languishing in the tub with one. This is my type of person. I was very careful not to let his book fall into my bath.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
